Several days later, at the Ernst Institute.
After breakfast, Lin Feng headed to the back of the mountain to cultivate.
Walking along the path of the academy, the little Shadowmouse perched on Lin Feng's shoulder and looked around. There were quite a number of people who possessed magical beasts in the Ernst Institute, so no one would mind that Lin Feng had a Shadowmouse. At this moment…"That's Lin Feng, the true number one magus of our first year.”A crisp sound came from not far ahead.
Lin Feng couldn't help but look at the source of the voice. He saw two cute little girls whispering to each other and looking at Lin Feng from time to time. When Lin Feng looked over, the two girls even covered their mouths and laughed softly.
"I'm famous now." Lin Feng laughed at himself.
In the past few days, whenever he met some people, he would often hear others talking about him. Lin Feng had been recognized as the number one expert in the first grade after defeating Rand, who was the champion of the year competition.
"Ah, what's in front?" Lin Feng's eyes suddenly locked onto a thin figure in the distance.
He had short golden hair and a skinny body that was comparable to Reynolds. His entire person was cold as he walked on the road.
"Dixie?" When Lin Feng was with Delia, he had seen Dixie from afar, which was why he recognized him at a glance.
Dixie was now nine years old. If he counted according to months, he was even a month younger than Lin Feng. However, this nine-year-old child was already a magus of the third rank. Although it was said that it was harder for mages to train as they advanced, it was still very shocking for a nine-year-old to become a magus of the third rank.
"It's Dixie's. I heard that Dixie has already become a magus of the fourth rank in yesterday's year-end examination.”Some seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls were talking to each other.
Most of the third-year students were over sixteen years old, and only Dixie was a super genius.
"A magus of the fourth rank?" Lin Feng couldn't help but be startled. Of course, he was only a little surprised, but not shocked. He was already a grade-6 mage, but Dixie, who was known as a peerless genius, was only a grade-4 mage. Not only was Lin Feng not shocked, but he was also a little smug.
Lin Feng walked out of the back door of the Ernst Institute and entered the back mountain. Fleeting through the forest, Doehring Cowart suddenly said,"Lin Feng, go to a place near the mountain wall.”
"By the mountain wall?" Lin Feng couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this. Grandpa Doehring was finally willing to teach him how to carve with a straight knife.
The back mountain was mostly covered with weeds and tall trees. However, Lin Feng found a place that fulfilled Doehring Cowart's request after a while. There was a mountain that was hundreds of meters tall. Lin Feng stood at the foot of the mountain.
"Grandpa Doehring, why did you ask me to come here?”Although Lin Feng knew the answer, he still had to say it.
…………
Lin Feng sat cross-legged in the gurgling stream, holding a flat knife and a palm-sized stone.
" Start from the basics. I'll practice with this small stone first…"
At the back of the mountain behind the Ernst Institute, Lin Feng began to study sculpting under Doehring Cowart's tutelage. As his understanding of sculpting grew clearer, Lin Feng also understood why the 'straight knife' style could increase one's spiritual energy in the later stages.
Lin Feng wouldn't slack off when it came to carving with a straight blade. He knew that Lin Feng's spirit power had skyrocketed because he had learned how to carve with a straight blade. Becoming the youngest person in the history of the Yulan continent to reach the Saint-level and become a Deity had refreshed the history of the Yulan continent.
From then on, Lin Feng had one more course besides his magic and warrior training, which was to practice carving with a straight knife.
During the test at the end of the semester, Lin Feng showed off his strength and passed the test for a fourth-grade mage. In just a year, he became a fourth-grade mage. When his results were announced, his reputation instantly became famous in the academy, and it seemed like he was going to overshadow the peerless genius Dixie. If Lin Feng showed his strength as a grade-6 mage without holding back, the whole school would probably go crazy.
When the school year ended, Lin Feng returned to Wushan Town.
After the new year, little Wharton and his older brother Lin Feng had only been together for a few days. Under the care of Housekeeper Hiri, they left for the O'Brien Empire. Lin Feng could only watch as little Wharton left, crying his eyes out as he separated from the ten-year-old Lin Feng.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it had been more than a month since school started.
"Grandpa Doehring, why is it that I've been a magus of the sixth rank for so long, but I still show no signs of breaking through?”
Lin Feng had already reached the peak of the sixth rank before the end of last semester. However, it had been a few months since then, and he still didn't feel any signs of a breakthrough. No wonder Lin Feng was so anxious.
Hearing this, Doehring Cowart flew out from the Coiling Dragon ring. He looked at Lin Feng, stroked his beard, and smiled."Lin Feng, practicing magic isn't that simple. The sixth and seventh ranks are a hurdle in the path of a mage's cultivation. If you want to overcome this hurdle, you need more than just talent and hard work.”
"Chance?" Lin Feng was speechless. Luck was the most unpredictable thing.
"You've already become a magus of the sixth rank, and a warrior of the fifth rank. It's time for you to go to the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts to train. I believe that in a life and death battle, the chances of you advancing will be even greater.”
"Go to the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts to train?" Lin Feng's eyes lit up. He had wanted to go to the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts for a long time, but Grandpa Doehring hadn't mentioned it, so he couldn't bring it up. But soon after, Lin Feng said in embarrassment,"Grandpa Doehring."
Doehring Cowart couldn't help but laugh when he saw the rare embarrassed look on Lin Feng's face." If you have something to say, just say it. Why do I need to be so pretentious with your Grandpa Doehring?"”
After organizing his words, Lin Feng said,"Grandpa Doehring, I want to take Delia with me to the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts to train. Is that possible?”
Hearing that, Doehring Cowart's eyes turned strange. He sized up Lin Feng for a long time before laughing out loud."Lin Feng, if you want to bring your little girlfriend along, go ahead. But I have to warn you beforehand that the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts is extremely dangerous, and your little girlfriend is barely a magus of the second rank. Even with your protection, it's hard to guarantee her safety.”
Before Lin Feng could reply, Doehring Cowart continued,"In addition, as far as I know, you and that little girl Delia haven't established a relationship yet, right? Can you guarantee that she will agree to go with you to such a dangerous place like the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts?”
"Don't worry," Lin Feng said confidently,"She'll definitely go with me."”
In truth, the reason why Lin Feng wanted to bring Delia to the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts for training wasn't because he couldn't leave Delia for even a moment. On the contrary, he hadn't wanted Delia to go to such a dangerous place. However, from the original book, Lin Feng had learned that Delia's talent was limited. It was impossible for her to become a Deity on her own, and he didn't want Delia, his future wife, to fuse with a divine spark to become a Deity. Once she fused with a divine spark, she would have no room for improvement. In the future, she would at most fuse with a God spark or a Highgod spark, becoming an existence at the bottom of the Highgods. This was something Lin Feng didn't want to see. After all, to them, their lives were limitless in the future. If there was no room for them to cultivate and improve, wouldn't their infinite lives be boring to death?
This was why Lin Feng had decided to bring Delia to the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts to undergo life-and-death training with him, hoping to help Delia, so that she could become a Deity on her own in the future, or at least reach the Saint-level. As long as she reached the Saint-level, her life would be limitless. With her own protection, Delia would have a large amount of time to comprehend the Laws of the World and become a Deity.
In addition, Lin Feng believed that with his protection, Delia's life wouldn't be in danger in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts.
