Lin Jialu

By evening, he dragged his exhausted body back.

It was pain mingled with joy.

Finally, training had begun!

Upon returning to the dormitory, he was met with Li Xin's skeptical gaze.

"What's wrong?" Yang Tian asked.

Why was she looking at him like that?

"Where did your training session go!" Li Xin demanded.

Clearly, the tone carried a hint of worry.

Forget it, I'm just showing concern for a roommate; I definitely don't have a favorable impression of this wooden head!

Li Xin lied to herself inwardly, but Yang Tian lived under the same roof as her.

Although Yang Tian did not know her identity, she knew her own.

"I trained over at my teacher's place. He already transferred me over there, so I don't need to train on the Squire side!"

"Of course, the missed classes must be made up. Squire classes are also very important!"

Yang Tian explained, then prepared a change of clothes.

He removed the Space Bracelet; having this storage treasure really made things much more convenient.

He was getting ready to wash away the sweat and stench of a whole day's training!

Of course, lacking the habit of stripping naked in front of Li Xin, Yang Tian still exercised a lot of discretion.

Though pretending not to know, his heart was completely sincere-a person could never deceive their own heart.

After washing up, he proceeded to cultivate.

"Hey, wood-Yang Tian, are you really going to the Knight side after half a year?"

It felt pretty nice right now having someone to chat with.

Li Xin asked suddenly.

"Probably. The specifics are up to my teacher to arrange. What I need to do right now is cultivate and increase my strength!"

Yang Tian was not certain either. Currently, he had no actual combat, only theoretical classes and training sessions.

Relatively speaking, it was still quite tense.

He could also cultivate at night; in the future, within thirty years of age, he could try to gain recognition from one of the Divine Thrones.

He was only seven years old now, his heart turned toward the light and his body dwelling in the light, so he wouldn't let his mind wander idly!

Li Xin also angrily muttered for no apparent reason: "Asking was pointless anyway! Go to sleep! We still have training tomorrow!"

Just like that, a month later.

He finally got through the adaptation period. A month still afforded three days of relaxation time.

However, once on the battlefield, it would be different.

The battlefield had no time for relaxation, unless there were no wars to fight with the Demon Race.

Yet the reproduction speed of those low-tier demons did not allow them to relax, or else they would become food in the mouths of the Demon Race.

A whole month.

Finally, Yang Tian walked out of the Haoyue Branch Hall!

During this period, his spiritual power had been increasing day and night.

Reaching around three hundred thirty or forty, advancing from a tier-3 knight to a tier-5 knight, the speed could be described as extremely swift.

After all, he possessed a talent as high as ninety-nine point nine nine, coupled with such hard work.

"Heh, I thought you wouldn't come out!"

Shortly after, a gentle voice reached him.

Yang Tian looked over and saw Li Xin.

She seemed very surprised as she looked at him, assuming Yang Tian would continue staying inside to train.

"I was driven out. My teacher wants me to relax properly!"

Yang Tian gave a wry smile. Thinking of his teacher Ye Hua's pained expression, he had no choice but to temporarily halt his training.

However, coming out was also to find some things to do-for instance, relying on the Squire Badge, he could accept some tier-2 missions to earn living expenses.

The Adventurers' Guild was clearly set up for free-roaming professional adventurers.

Inside, one could accept missions of a certain grade, and upon completion, receive the corresponding commission.

Li Xin also felt it was incredible.

She muttered, "It really is rare. Night Asura demands the strictest self-discipline from his disciples, yet he actually let you come out to relax!"

Yang Tian chuckled.

That was because she had never experienced the feeling of a madman meeting an even madder madman.

Night Asura was strict, but not to the point of Yang Tian's self-discipline.

"Then what do you plan to do!"

Watching the wooden head who was merely smiling bitterly, Li Xin searched for a topic of conversation.

Surely he wouldn't come out and wander around like a headless fly, right?

"I want to go to the Adventurers' Guild to accept some missions and earn living expenses!"

Yang Tian held no guard against this roommate either and spoke directly.

Upon hearing this, Li Xin found it very interesting-it seemed much better than blindly searching for food-so she asked right away: "Then shall we form a party?"

"Rest assured, I am a tier-9 squire; I won't hold you back!"

Seeming somewhat afraid that Yang Tian would refuse, Li Xin gave a solemn guarantee.

"Alright then!" Yang Tian nodded.

Hearing Yang Tian's agreement, Li Xin blossomed with joy on the inside.

Accepting missions was definitely better than staying put around the Haoyue Branch Hall, plus she could slay demon beasts.

Killing demon beasts was something she had never tried before, hence she was filled with anticipation.

The Adventurers' Guild!

Yang Tian and Li Xin's arrival quickly attracted the attention of quite a few people.

Since his awakening, Yang Tian possessed a fresh and refined aura, and those clear golden eyes were uniquely distinctive.

Donning the unified squire uniform issued by the Haoyue Branch Hall made him look even more spirited.

As for Li Xin, she gave off a feminine gentleness on the surface alone, yet her current attire exuded an extremely rare heroic and dashing air.

Li Xin was half a head taller than Yang Tian, and Yang Tian looked like he was only in his early teens.

Handing over the squire badge, they successfully accepted a mission:

Slay the tier-2 demon beasts running amok in Purple Star Town. There is no upper limit; commissions are exchanged based on the actual magic crystals turned in!

Purple Star Town was the closest town to the Haoyue Branch Hall, and plenty of demon beasts grew within the Purple Star Mountain Range.

Those that grew to tier-2 even dared to come out and forage for humans.

Consequently, such a mission targeting those demon beasts came into being.

"Three days of time, we can play to our heart's content!"

Emerging after accepting the mission, Li Xin said, clearly very excited.

"This isn't playing, this is ridding the people of an evil!"

Yang Tian stated bluntly.

If it were merely to play, it seemed he had already played enough.

Right now, increasing his strength and earning commissions!

These were the things he needed to work hard on.

As for equipment, he was still using an iron sword-just an iron sword. He could afford magic equipment, but it would wipe out the savings he had accumulated over the previous two years.

In one word: too poor!

"Right, I am going to choose Punishment; eliminating evil is upholding goodness!"

Li Xin immediately radiated a righteous hero demeanor, an heroic look appearing on her face.

Looking at Li Xin, he felt that this person was much better than dull old him.

Everyone had their own strengths!

That was undeniable!

"Li Xin, why are you running out shouting boisterously again!"

"Tsk, your outfit here isn't half bad!"

"Another day I'll give you a set of sister... I..."

Shortly after, a young girl wearing blue mage robes appeared and spoke unceremoniously to Li Xin.

A chilling aura emanated from this girl's body, and looking at her badge-

An 8th-grade Magic Apprentice!

Clearly, she was also a talented young female mage of the Haoyue Magic Branch Hall.

However, at that moment, the young girl's tender pink lips were tightly covered by Li Xin's hands.

"Lin Jialu, you behave yourself for me. This wooden head still doesn't know I'm a girl disguised as a boy!"

"If you dare to expose my business, I'll break ties with you!"

"Got it? If you still treat me as a sister, don't pierce my cover!"

Covering the female mage's mouth, Li Xin "threatened" her with a few reminders, then slowly let go.

"Got it, seriously, acting like it's something shameful!"

The female mage also muttered with a grievance, looked toward Yang Tian, and then inwardly startled-what a fresh and refined young lad.

Then, she looked at Li Xin with a mischievous smile, "Li Xin, are you-"

"Don't let your imagination run wild, I am not!"

Li Xin immediately gave a definitive reply.

"Yang Tian, this is my good friend, Lin Jialu!"

"Jialu, this is Yang Tian! He is a very formidable existence! And a total freak, too!"

Following that, Li Xin brought the young female mage over and introduced her to Yang Tian.

Except for the last sentence.

On the surface it was derogatory, but in reality it was praise.

She, Li Xin, had never seen anyone who cultivated even while sleeping.

Before running into this wooden head!
