Consuming Purple Light Dew (Seeking Favorites)

"Kill a beast?" Linley looked at the new mission that had appeared before him. "Big Brother Lin Ke, am I really capable of killing a beast right now?"

Linley felt a sense of anticipation, but also a touch of nervousness.

Yet, there was no fear at all.

The bloody scene he had witnessed during the day kept replaying in Linley's mind.

Combat, fresh blood!

Even though Linley was not yet nine years old, he still yearned for it.

"Rest assured." The corners of Lin Ke's mouth curled up slightly. "With your current strength, it is easy to kill a beast by slowly utilizing traps. Moreover, you can redeem rewards; your strength will be like a snowball, and it will improve very quickly."

Lin Ke's words made Linley nod slightly, and at the same time, Linley made his decision. "Big Brother Lin Ke, I've decided. I'll redeem the Purple Light Dew."

"No problem." Inside the System Space, Lin Ke snapped his fingers, and a drop of purple liquid floated before him. "Open your mouth."

Hearing Lin Ke's words, Linley opened his mouth, and the next moment, a drop of cool liquid appeared in his mouth.

It was slightly sweet, with a hint of sourness, but the flavor was very mild.

Before Linley could even taste what it was, it had already vanished.

"Big Brother Lin Ke, is that it?" Linley smacked his lips, feeling a bit unsatisfied. "It tasted quite good, much better than Zhuling Juice."

Zhuling Juice was a sweet and sour beverage that Linley loved to drink.

"Don't even think about it." Lin Ke watched his energy point balance increase by 9 points with a beaming smile. "10 energy points for one drop of Purple Light Dew; I didn't earn a single cent, I even lost some. It cost me a fortune."

Listening to the excited tone of Lin Ke in his mind, Linley found it hard to believe that Lin Ke had really lost money.

"By the way, Big Brother Lin Ke." Linley did not dwell on that topic. "What level of energy point is above the White Energy Point?"

"That is something you don't need to know for now." Lin Ke's tone was serious. "White Energy Points are enough for you to use until you reach the Saint-level. Knowing too much will only make you aim too high and lose sight of the present."

In reality, Lin Ke was completely fobbing Linley off.

Because within the system, there was no such thing as a classification of energy points.

It was purely something Lin Ke had made up himself.

The goal, of course, was to motivate Linley.

At the same time, it was also convenient for Lin Ke to profit from it.

Linley was, after all, just a child.

Having witnessed a fierce battle during the day and having learned meditation from Doehring, he was exhausted.

Even the Purple Light Dew had a faint hypnotic effect.

And so, very quickly, Linley fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Linley arrived at the plaza just one second before training began.

Hillman glanced at Linley, who had come running over, but didn't say much.

Linley's performance yesterday had made Hillman look at him in a new light.

He was indeed worthy of being from the Baruch Clan; his bloodthirsty nature had already been revealed.

It was just a pity that Linley's bloodline did not meet the requirements, and he would never be able to cultivate the Dragonblood Secret Manual in his lifetime.

This meant that the highest level Linley could reach by training his body was that of a level-seven warrior.

However, as the morning training began, Hillman's surprise grew even greater.

"How is this possible?" Hillman looked at Linley, who was still persisting, a flash of astonishment in his eyes. "Yesterday, Linley would have been unable to hold on by this time, so why does he look like he still has energy left today?"

Linley's head and feet were resting on two flat stones, relying solely on his waist for support.

Although Linley's body was trembling slightly, he was still holding on.

Hillman stepped forward and came to Linley's side to check, confirming that Linley was not cheating.

"Good lad!" Hillman looked at Linley's persistent form, a flash of pleasant surprise in his eyes. "Linley's current physical strength shouldn't be far from that of a level-one warrior."

Hillman was somewhat excited.

With Linley's current talent, he might really be able to rely on his physical body alone to reach the level of a level-seven warrior in the future.

Although, for a kingdom, a level-seven warrior was far inferior to a level-seven mage.

But if he were to join the army, a level-seven warrior could easily become a mid-to-high-level officer.

At the very least, preserving the Baruch Clan's title would not be a problem.

It was just a pity that back then...

Thinking of this, Hillman's expression turned somewhat ugly.

Hogg was still trapped in the events of the past and had not yet moved on.

After all the other children on the open ground had landed, Linley persisted for another ten minutes before finally falling off the stones.

"Well done, Linley." Hillman did not skimp on his praise. "In six months at most, you will be able to become a level-one warrior."

Hillman's words left the surrounding children who were training together in utter astonishment.

You have to understand, Linley was not even the oldest among this group.

"Linley, you're so strong!" Hadley, with his head of golden hair, came to Linley's side. "After training ends later, do you want to go explore the woods outside the town? We might even be able to catch a magical beast."

"No thanks, Hadley." Linley shook his head in refusal. "I still have to study, and there definitely aren't any magical beasts in the woods outside the town; Uncle Hillman and the others clear them out every year."

Linley's words left Hadley feeling somewhat disappointed.

They had grown up together since they were small.

Yet the gap between the two of them was growing wider and wider.

It wasn't just their status.

More importantly, it was their talent.

Once training ended, Linley returned home to wash up briefly before beginning his studies under Hogg's supervision.

Although the Baruch Clan had already declined, they were, after all, nobles.

Linley not only had to undergo warrior training, but he also had to study politics, religion, etiquette, military strategy, geography, art, and so on every single day.

Fortunately, Linley now had two cheats.

"Big Brother Lin Ke, what does this question from Father mean?"

"Grandpa Doering, was the history back then really different from what Father described?"

"..."

As the lessons concluded, Hogg looked at Linley with a satisfied expression on his face.

During today's lessons, Linley hadn't made a single mistake.

But recalling Linley's performance when facing combat yesterday, Hogg felt a touch of regret.

Success comes from the bloodline, and failure comes from the bloodline as well!

However, Linley was unaware of his father's thoughts at this moment.

Leaving the ancestral residence, Linley headed all the way toward the mountain next to Wushan Town.

"Grandpa Doering." Linley spoke with a look of anticipation. "I've already learned how to meditate. Does that mean you can teach me magic next?"

"Of course." Doering Cowart appeared, wearing a moon-white robe. "However, before learning magic incantations, you must first understand the essence of magic."

As Doering Cowart spoke, Linley was clearly much more interested in magic compared to the dry and tedious political lessons.

Meanwhile, inside the System Space, Lin Ke was constantly attempting to create an item that would allow Linley to awaken his Dragonblood Warrior bloodline.

After all, in the early stages, the Dragonblood Warrior transformation was the absolute best method for fighting enemies above one's own level.

"No, no, the production cost is too high; Linley can't afford it at all right now."

"This one won't work either; the cost is low, but the flaws are too great."

"This one won't work either..."
