Spring passed and autumn came. In the blink of an eye, another year had passed. Leo was thirteen years old now…
At night.
Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. The torrential rain was like a breach in the Heavenly River. The strong wind rolled up the rain like countless whips, fiercely lashing at the big tree. Lightning flashed, like a python leaping over the clouds, and a violent thunder suddenly exploded in the sky...
Leo stood on a branch at the top of a big tree, his body swaying in the wind as he stared at the lightning in the sky.
"Boom!" The thunder exploded.
Leo's eyes flashed with lightning. He bent his knees, drew his sword, and jumped into the sky.
At this moment, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky.
" Boom!" The Purple Lightning Divine Sword clashed with the Heavenly Lightning, creating a loud bang.
The two of them were in a stalemate for a moment, and soon, the heavenly lightning was directly destroyed. At the same time, Leo descended back to the top of the tree and continued to close his eyes to comprehend.
Ever since Leo had his first epiphany at the age of eight, he had embarked on the path of comprehending the profound mysteries of the Elemental Laws of Water.
Soon after, at the Ernst Institute, he had gained a preliminary understanding of the Profound Mysteries of the Laws of the Earth, the Gravitational Space. This was why when he had demonstrated his magic to Linley, that final Gravitational Technique had been so shockingly powerful.
Soon after, when the first year was about to end, he successfully comprehended the Profound Mysteries of the Laws of Wind, Space, and Darkness, Devouring. He then fused the Profound Mysteries of Roundness and Devouring together, creating the Sword of Erosion in one go.
After graduating, in his second year in the Magical Beast Forest, he had fused the three profound mysteries of the Space of Wind, Devouring, and Roundness into one, and from there, he had embarked on the path of fusing all three elements.
Now, Leo had finally begun to comprehend the last element he cultivated-the mysteries of the thunder element.
……………………
In the forest.
A three-meter-long Blue Patterned Panther was currently holding onto a tree trunk, not moving at all. The leopard-type magical beast should be the fastest type of reptile on the ground.
This was especially true for Saint-level magical beasts like the Thunderbolt Leopard. A Saint-level magical beast that moved as if it were teleporting.
As for the Cyan Tattooed Panther, it was a wind-elemental magical beast of the eighth rank. However, as a panther-type magical beast, it naturally inherited the speed that panther-type magical beasts were best at. Its instantaneous burst of speed was something that even ordinary magical beasts of the ninth rank could not compare to.
The Blue Patterned Leopard exerted some strength in its four limbs.
"Swoosh!" With a single leap, he landed directly on another tree. Leopard magical beasts were best at running on trees, and this was also very famous. The Green Patterned Panther had already spotted the humans in the distance through the gaps of the dense leaves.
It waited quietly, waiting for the human to approach.
Soon, the human approached…
The Green Tattooed Panther's main target was the human. The aura of the human did not arouse its vigilance at all.
Indeed, Leo in his human form was only at the later stages of level-seven, and Leo's magic level was not something that a mere level-nine magic beast could see. A magical beast of the eighth rank was completely incomparable to a warrior of the seventh rank.
"Whoosh!" The Green Patterned Panther suddenly turned into a green shadow and rushed toward Leo in an erratic trajectory.
"I was waiting for you!" Leo smiled.
This was Leo's most common method in the magic beast forest. Every time he wanted to test some moves, he would send the Thunder Leopard away first, then hide his magic cultivation and deliberately walk into the magical beasts to attract their attacks!
The Green Patterned Panther was delighted to see that the human had no reaction. It then reached out its right claw to grab Leo.
Bang! The moment the Green Patterned Panther grabbed Leo, it suddenly lost its balance and fell to the ground. Soon, the Green Patterned Leopard immediately got up and stared at Leo, who was smiling at it not far away. At this moment, it suddenly had a bad feeling." This human…When did he run over there…I attacked an afterimage…"
The moment the Blue Patterned Leopard realized what was going on, it began to slowly retreat.
"Puff ~"
The retreating Green Patterned Leopard suddenly felt a pain in its neck." How is this possible…This human…" Then, he quickly lost consciousness.
"As expected of the Lightning Law, it's really fierce!”Leo looked at the decapitated Green Patterned Panther and sighed." It's been half a year since I suddenly realized the mysteries of lightning in the storm.”
"It seems that the profound mysteries of the Laws of Lightning that I've gained insights into are the profound mysteries of Thunderstorm that were written in that book. This profound mystery is related to explosive power, and is also a high-level profound mystery!”Leo thought to himself, From now on, this footwork will be called Explosive Steps, and this sword will be called Thunderbolt Slash!”
Leo's god-level spiritual power was extremely powerful. Spending half a year to fully derive a type of profound mystery was comparable to the cultivation speed of an ordinary Sanctuary powerhouse for decades. Even though the Profound Mysteries of Thunderstorm was a high-level profound mystery, Leo's current level of comprehension of the Laws was already comparable to Linley's and Haydson's battle.
Explosive Steps, as the name suggested, was a footwork that was activated instantly. Leo had used this move to dodge the Green Patterned Leopard's attack and to reach the Green Patterned Leopard in the last moment. Leo was only at level-seven in his human form, but his speed was so fast that even a level-eight magical beast couldn't react in time. One could imagine his explosive power.
The same was true for Thunderbolt Slash. Its power also relied on the explosive power of the Profound Mysteries of Thunderclap.
"I've already reached a certain level of comprehension of the Profound Mysteries of Thunderstorm. If I continue, I'll have to spend a lot of time. Rather than that, I might as well train in fused profound mysteries. After all, the fused profound mysteries were still at the early stages. They had not reached the level where it would be difficult to continue comprehending them!”Leo said to himself.
The training of the profound mysteries of the Laws differed from person to person, but to everyone, it was easy at first, then difficult. At the beginning, each profound mystery would be relatively easy to comprehend, but after reaching a certain level, it would require a large amount of time.
It was the same for Leo's Thunderstorm Occult. At this moment, Leo had already comprehended Thunderstorm in a deeper level, and the Fusion Occult had just begun. Therefore, from the perspective of improving combat effectiveness, it was more convenient to comprehend the Fusion Occult now.
……………………
Time flew by, and another year and a half passed…
"We should be almost out of the Magical Beast Forest by now!”Recently, Leo realized that there were no Saint-level or high-level magical beasts around.
He had been in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts for about five years. During these five years, Warrior Leo's strength had grown quite quickly. He had reached the peak of the seventh rank and would soon break through to the eighth rank. However, in terms of training in the profound mysteries of the Laws, he was far more advanced than when he had first entered the Magical Beast Forest.
"Hmm?" Leo turned around.
Not far away, a young girl was running in a panic, while two muscular men in leather armor and weapons were chasing after her.
Leo watched for a moment, but didn't say anything else. He quickly turned around and left.
However, things did not go as she wished. The girl who had nowhere else to go would obviously not let go of Leo, this life-saving straw.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." An anxious shout came from behind.
Leo ignored him and continued walking.
"Sir, save me!" The girl ran towards Leo and shouted.
When the girl saw Leo wearing only a pair of trousers, carrying a purple sword on his back, and a leopard-like magical beast beside him, she immediately recognized him as a powerhouse. After all, leopard-like magical beasts were basically high-level magical beasts.
"Kid, get lost and mind your own business!”One of the men warned loudly. This man was obviously very confident in his own strength. Even when he saw that the other party had a high-level magical beast with him, he did not care.
"Humph!" Leo snorted.
Suddenly-
"Dong!" "Boom!" With two sounds, the two people behind spat out a large mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. And in the blood that they spat out, they could faintly see the fragments of their internal organs…
"This…this is…the Great Gravity Technique!”One of the stronger men said with difficulty," Instant…Instant ninth-grade magic…You're a Saint…"
" This..." The girl on the side was stunned as she looked at Leo, who was shorter than her. Then, she quickly came to her senses and hurried to greet Leo." Thank you for saving my life!"”
The girl got close to him and saw Leo and the Rushing Thunder Leopard clearly."This leopard is actually a Saint-level magical beast, the Thunderbolt Panther. That Grand Magus Saint was actually just a child. Had this world gone mad? How could there be such a young Grand Magus Saint?”
The training of a mage was extremely difficult, much more difficult than the training of a warrior, especially the accumulation of a mage's spiritual power. It was too difficult. However, due to the power of a mage's magic and their role in war, the status of a mage was often higher than that of a warrior.
Leo looked at the girl carefully. She was a little over 1.8 meters tall, had healthy tanned skin, and exquisite facial features. Her warrior attire revealed a trace of heroic spirit amidst her beauty.
"Let me ask you!" Leo looked at the girl who was half a head taller than him and asked," What's your name? Where's the nearest town from here?”
The girl immediately replied after hearing Leo's words,""Milord, my name is Firis, and this is the territory of the Yulan Empire's southeastern province.”
"The Yulan Empire?" Leo was startled. He thought to himself, I didn't expect that even though I chose the same path as Linley in the original novel, I would end up in the Yulan Empire…but that's fine. The Yulan Empire also has a large number of experts who can match up to me.”
"My lord! Sir?" Phyllis looked at Leo, who was in a daze, and called out carefully.
"Hmm?"
"Milord, are you going to the Yulan Empire? "I can show you the way…" Phyllis asked tentatively.
"Mm, that's good too!" Leo laughed." This is my first time in the Yulan Empire as well!”
…………………
Along the way, Leo had figured out Phyllis's situation.
Firis was originally an orphan and had been adopted by her teacher since she was young. However, Firis was extremely talented. She was only seventeen years old, but she was already a warrior at the peak of the seventh rank. Coupled with her beautiful appearance, she was immediately pursued by countless young talents.
Later on, her master had accidentally obtained a piece of Blood Pomegranate Stone. Then, for some reason, the news was leaked and a group of bandits had their eyes on her. In the end, her master and the bandit leader had died together. She took advantage of the chaos and ran out with the Blood Pomegranate Stone. Unexpectedly, she was still found in the end and chased all the way here.
