Time flowed on, and in the blink of

Time flowed on, and in the blink of an eye, months had passed. Many new trees had begun to sprout on Wushan township, filling the area with a feeling of spring.

Beneath a pine tree.

Linley was seated cross-legged in a meditative trance, generating mageforce.

After having entered the meditative trance, Linley could clearly sense large amounts of earthen specks of light and green specks of light. These countless specks of lights continuously swirled into his body, and through his limbs and his bones, were purified and stored within the central dantian in his chest.

Within his central dantian, there was a smoky earthen mist intermingled with a smoky green mist.

The earthen mist was his earth element mageforce, while the green mist was his wind element mageforce.

“Whew.” Slowly releasing a breath, Linley exited his meditative trance.

Doehring Cowart, wearing a moon-white robe, was seated cross-legged next to him, a smile on his face as he enjoyed the surrounding scenery. Seeing Linley awaken, he laughed. “Linley, tomorrow you are heading to the Ernst Institute, yet you are still hard at work today?”

Linley’s lips curved up in a smile. “Grandpa Doehring, I believe you were the one who said that strong combatants must work hard every single day, and not relax for even an instant. Only long term training will produce astonishing power.”

“Little punk, so now you are going to give me instructions?” Doehring Cowart laughed while ‘grumbling’.

“Hehe,” Linley chortled.

“Woosh!” A black shadow from far away came flashing towards them, appearing on Linley’s shoulders in the blink of an eye. It was the Shadowmouse, ‘Bebe’. Young Bebe leaned towards Linley, making a chewing motion with his mouth, while pointing at a nearby dead hare.

Just from the look on Bebe’s face, Linley knew what was up.

“You want me to cook it?” Linley laughed as he spoke.

Bebe nodded repeatedly.

“Linley.” The nearby Doehring Cowart mentally spoke to him. “This little Shadowmouse is really quite strange. It’s been months, but judging from his size, it’s almost as though he hasn’t grown at all. For an infant Shadowmouse, the early childhood growth rate should be quite noticeable.”

“I have no idea either.” Linley shook his head.

Although Shadowmouse ‘Bebe’ did not increase in size, his speed was improving quite remarkably.

“It really is bizarre.” Doehring Cowart looked at Bebe. Right now, Bebe didn’t have any idea that a spirit was mentally weighing him.

“It’s getting late. I’ll need to start warrior training soon.” Linley stood up and grabbed the dead hare as he began heading down the mountain. Doehring Cowart flew by his side, unhappily saying, “Linley, in the future, you will be a magus. Why are you still engaging in warrior training?”

Linley laughed, “Grandpa Doehring, I’ve discovered that warrior training can increase my endurance, and with increased endurance, my spiritual essence can increase as well.”

“I know that, of course.” Doehring Cowart said, dissatisfied. “But how could those basic training methods compare to the meditative trance in turns of how fast one’s spiritual essence increases?”

Linley shut his mouth and no longer spoke.

While it was true that fighter training allowed one to improve one’s spiritual essence, that wasn’t the real reason.

The real reason that Linley continued his fighter training was this. “In the future, if I have the chance to drink fresh dragon’s blood, I will be able to practice according to the Secret Dragonblood Training Tome. I have to keep up my physical training. The body is like a vessel, while battle-qi is like wine. The body is extremely important. The earlier I begin building my fundamentals, the faster my improvement will be when I study the Secret Dragonblood Training Tome in the future.”

Actually, based on Linley’s affinity for elemental essences, each day, he didn’t have to spend too much time or effort to gather and generate mageforce.

Most of his time was spent in the meditative trance, training his spiritual essence.

But spending significant amounts of time training spiritual essence was exhausting. Warrior training served as a form of rest and alternative exercise.

……

The next morning, all of the commoners of Wushan township gathered on the main road in town, all for the purpose of sending off Linley. It was definitely an incredibly glorious thing for Wushan township to be able to produce a magus who would attend the Ernst Institute.

Each year, the Ernst Institute only accepted a hundred students from across the entire Yulan continent.

At the moment, Linley was still within the Baruch clan manor, while Hillman and the others were all outside. The only people within the manor were Hogg, Linley, little Wharton, and Housekeeper Hiri.

“Linley, today you are going to go to the Ernst Institute and formally become an Ernst Institute student. When you graduate from the Ernst Institute, you will be a powerful magus! Before you depart, as your father, I want to say to you…” On this last day, Hogg had a belly full of things he wanted to speak to Linley.

But after pausing for a long time, Hogg only said a few simple sentences. “Linley, remember the ardent desire that the elders of the Baruch clan have held for centuries, and remember the humiliation of the Baruch clan!”

Hogg’s face was turning slightly green.

“When you graduate, you will be at least a magus of the sixth rank. If you work hard and train hard, it won’t be too hard to become a magus of the seventh rank. And in addition, you are a dual-element magus! A dual-element magus of the seventh rank would definitely be a major force in the Kingdom of Fenlai. In the future, you will definitely be capable of retrieving our clan’s ancestral heirloom. If you do not, even if I die, I will not forgive you!” Hogg fixed a deathly stare on Linley.

“Even if I die, I will not forgive you!”

These words made Linley’s heart tremble.

These were the instructions his father gave to him upon their parting.

“Father, don’t worry. So long as I live, I will ensure that the ancestral heirloom of our Baruch clan is restored to us. I so swear!” Linley promised, meeting his father’s steely gaze, his own eyes filled with resolve as well.

Hogg’s eyes began to shine, and he patted Linley on the shoulder with a mighty clap.

“I believe in you, son!”

….

On the road headed east of Wushan township, Linley turned his head saw the hundreds of familiar faces which had come to send him off, with his father, Hogg, and his younger brother Wharton standing in the lead.

“Big brother, bye bye!” Little Wharton waved mightily.

Seeing his father and his younger brother, Linley also waved, his eyes turning red.

“Father. Wharton.” Linley’s heart was filled with longing.

Ever since he was born, Linley had never left home for an extended period of time, but this time, he would be gone for extremely long. At this moment, the little Shadowmouse, ‘Bebe’, was obediently perched on Linley’s shoulders, not making a sound, as if he sensed Linley’s thoughts. The nearby Doehring Cowart, in spirit form, also looked encouragingly at Linley.

“Linley, let’s go.” Hillman said. Hillman was escorting Linley to the Institute, acting as his bodyguard in the event they met with any bandits.

Linley unwillingly took one last glance at his family, and then finally forced himself to turn away and begin traveling in the direction of the Ernst Institute.

“Farewell, my family. Farewell, my home.”

Yulan calendar, year 9991. The nine year old Linley, accompanied by the young Shadowmouse, ‘Bebe’, and the Baruch clan’s guard captain, Hillman, departed from Wushan township.

Waktu mengalir, dan dalam sekejap mata, bulan telah berlalu. Banyak pohon-pohon baru mulai tumbuh di Wushan kota, mengisi daerah dengan perasaan musim semi. Di bawah pohon pinus. Linley duduk bersila di trans meditatif, menghasilkan mageforce. Setelah memasuki trans meditatif, Linley jelas bisa merasakan jumlah besar bintik tanah cahaya dan bintik hijau terang. Ini bintik tak terhitung lampu terus berputar-putar ke dalam tubuhnya, dan melalui anggota tubuhnya dan tulang-tulangnya, yang dimurnikan dan disimpan dalam Dantian pusat di dadanya. Dalam Dantian tengah nya, ada kabut tanah berasap bercampur dengan kabut hijau berasap. The kabut tanah adalah mageforce elemen tanah, sementara kabut hijau elemen mageforce angin nya. "Wah." Perlahan-lahan melepaskan napas, Linley keluar trans meditatif nya. Doehring Cowart, mengenakan jubah bulan-putih, duduk bersila di samping dia, senyum di wajahnya saat ia menikmati pemandangan sekitarnya. Melihat Linley terbangun, dia tertawa. "Linley, besok Anda sedang menuju ke Ernst Institute, namun Anda masih bekerja keras hari ini?" Bibir Linley yang melengkung di tersenyum. "Kakek Doehring, saya percaya Anda adalah orang yang mengatakan bahwa pejuang yang kuat harus bekerja keras setiap hari, dan tidak rileks bahkan sekejap. Hanya pelatihan jangka panjang akan menghasilkan tenaga yang menakjubkan. "" Sedikit punk, jadi sekarang Anda akan memberi saya petunjuk? "Doehring Cowart tertawa sementara 'menggerutu'." Hehe, "Linley terkekeh." Woosh! "Sebuah bayangan hitam dari jauh datang berkedip ke arah mereka, muncul di bahu Linley dalam sekejap mata. Itu adalah Shadowmouse, 'Bebe'. Muda Bebe bersandar ke arah Linley, membuat gerakan mengunyah dengan mulut, sambil menunjuk pada kelinci dekatnya mati. Hanya dari raut wajah Bebe, Linley tahu apa yang sedang terjadi. "Kau ingin aku memasak?" Linley tertawa saat ia berbicara . Bebe mengangguk berulang kali. "Linley." Dekat Doehring Cowart mental berbicara kepadanya. "Shadowmouse kecil ini benar-benar sangat aneh. Sudah berbulan-bulan, tapi menilai dari ukuran tubuhnya, hampir seolah-olah dia tidak tumbuh sama sekali. Untuk bayi Shadowmouse, tingkat pertumbuhan anak usia dini harus cukup terlihat. "" Aku tidak tahu baik. "Linley menggeleng. Meskipun Shadowmouse 'Bebe' tidak bertambah besar, kecepatannya membaik cukup luar biasa." Ini benar-benar adalah aneh. "Doehring Cowart melihat Bebe. Sekarang, Bebe tidak punya ide bahwa roh sebuah mental berat baginya. "Sudah larut. Aku harus memulai pelatihan prajurit segera. "Linley berdiri dan meraih kelinci mati saat ia mulai menuju ke bawah gunung. Doehring Cowart terbang di sisinya, sedih mengatakan, "Linley, di masa depan, Anda akan magus a. Mengapa Anda masih terlibat dalam pelatihan prajurit? "Linley tertawa," Kakek Doehring, saya telah menemukan bahwa pelatihan prajurit dapat meningkatkan daya tahan tubuh saya, dan dengan peningkatan daya tahan, esensi spiritual saya dapat meningkat juga. "" Aku tahu itu, tentu saja . "kata Doehring Cowart, tidak puas. "Tapi bagaimana metode pelatihan yang dasar bisa dibandingkan dengan trans meditatif bergantian dari seberapa cepat seseorang spiritual esensi meningkat?" Linley menutup mulutnya dan tidak lagi berbicara. Sementara itu benar bahwa pelatihan tempur memungkinkan orang untuk meningkatkan esensi spiritual seseorang, yang wasn 't alasan sebenarnya. Alasan sebenarnya yang Linley melanjutkan pelatihan tempur nya ini. "Di masa depan, jika saya memiliki kesempatan untuk minum darah naga segar, aku akan dapat berlatih sesuai dengan Rahasia Dragonblood Pelatihan Tome. Aku harus menjaga pelatihan fisik saya. Tubuh adalah seperti sebuah kapal, sementara pertempuran-qi adalah seperti anggur. Tubuh sangat penting. Sebelumnya saya mulai membangun dasar-dasar saya, lebih cepat perbaikan saya akan ketika saya mempelajari Rahasia Dragonblood Pelatihan Tome di masa depan. "Sebenarnya, berdasarkan afinitas Linley untuk esensi unsur, setiap hari, ia tidak perlu menghabiskan terlalu banyak waktu atau usaha untuk mengumpulkan dan menghasilkan mageforce. Sebagian besar waktunya dihabiskan di trans meditatif, pelatihan esensi spiritualnya. Tapi menghabiskan sejumlah besar waktu untuk melatih esensi spiritual sangat melelahkan. Pelatihan prajurit menjabat sebagai bentuk istirahat dan olahraga alternatif. ...... Keesokan paginya, semua rakyat jelata dari Wushan kota berkumpul di jalan utama di kota, semua untuk tujuan pengiriman off Linley. Itu pasti hal yang sangat mulia bagi Wushan kota untuk dapat menghasilkan magus yang akan menghadiri Ernst Institute. Setiap tahun, Ernst Institute hanya diterima seratus mahasiswa dari seluruh seluruh Yulan benua. Pada saat ini, Linley masih dalam Baruch klan bangsawan, sedangkan Hillman dan lain-lain semua di luar. Satu-satunya orang dalam manor yang Hogg, Linley, sedikit Wharton, dan pengurus rumah tangga Hiri. "Linley, hari ini Anda akan pergi ke Ernst Institute dan secara resmi menjadi mahasiswa Ernst Institute. Ketika Anda lulus dari Ernst Institute, Anda akan menjadi tukang sihir yang kuat! Sebelum Anda berangkat, sebagai ayah Anda, saya ingin mengatakan kepada Anda ... "Pada hari terakhir ini, Hogg memiliki perut penuh hal-hal yang ingin berbicara dengan Linley. Tapi setelah berhenti untuk waktu yang lama, Hogg hanya mengatakan kalimat sederhana . "Linley, mengingat keinginan bernafsu bahwa tetua klan Baruch telah diadakan selama berabad-abad, dan ingat penghinaan dari klan Baruch!" Wajah Hogg berubah sedikit hijau. "Ketika Anda lulus, Anda akan setidaknya magus dari peringkat keenam. Jika Anda bekerja keras dan berlatih keras, itu tidak akan terlalu sulit untuk menjadi tukang sihir dari peringkat ketujuh. Dan di samping itu, Anda adalah seorang magus dual-elemen! Sebuah tukang sihir dual-unsur peringkat ketujuh pasti akan menjadi kekuatan utama di Kerajaan Fenlai. Di masa depan, Anda pasti akan mampu mengambil pusaka leluhur klan kita. Jika Anda tidak, bahkan jika aku mati, aku tidak akan memaafkanmu! "Hogg tetap tatapan mematikan di Linley." Bahkan jika aku mati, aku tidak akan memaafkanmu! "Kata-kata membuat Linley ini hati bergetar. Ini adalah petunjuk-Nya Ayah memberikan kepadanya setelah perpisahan mereka. "Ayah, jangan khawatir. Selama saya tinggal, saya akan memastikan bahwa pusaka leluhur klan Baruch kami dikembalikan kepada kami. Aku jadi bersumpah! "Linley berjanji, pertemuan tatapan baja ayahnya, matanya sendiri penuh dengan tekad juga. Mata Hogg mulai bersinar, dan ia menepuk Linley di bahu dengan bertepuk perkasa." Saya percaya pada Anda, anak! " .... Di jalan menuju timur dari Wushan kota, Linley menoleh melihat ratusan wajah-wajah yang telah datang untuk mengirim dia pergi, dengan ayahnya, Hogg, dan adiknya Wharton berdiri dalam memimpin. "Kakak, bye bye! "Sedikit Wharton melambai mati-matian. Melihat ayahnya dan adiknya, Linley juga melambai, matanya berubah merah." Bapa. Wharton. "Hati Linley itu penuh dengan kerinduan. Sejak dia lahir, Linley tidak pernah meninggalkan rumah untuk waktu yang lama, tapi kali ini, ia akan pergi untuk sangat panjang. Pada saat ini, Shadowmouse kecil, 'Bebe', itu patuh bertengger di bahu Linley ini, tidak membuat suara, seolah-olah ia merasakan pengalaman Linley ini. Dekatnya Doehring Cowart, dalam bentuk roh, juga tampak semangat di Linley. "Linley, mari kita pergi." Kata Hillman. Hillman sedang mengawal Linley ke Institut, bertindak sebagai pengawalnya dalam acara mereka bertemu dengan bandit. Linley enggan mengambil satu pandangan terakhir di keluarganya, dan akhirnya memaksa dirinya untuk berpaling dan mulai perjalanan di arah Ernst Institute. "Selamat tinggal, keluarga saya. Perpisahan, rumah saya ". Yulan kalender, tahun 9991. The Linley berusia sembilan tahun, disertai dengan Shadowmouse muda, 'Bebe', dan kapten penjaga Baruch klan, Hillman, berangkat dari Wushan kota.
