From the second day onwards, Linley began to train bitterly.
Because he couldn't tell his father and Leo about Doehring Cowart's existence, Linley had to continue his warrior training in the morning and evening. In the morning, he still had to go to his father to study politics, religion, etiquette, military strategy, geography, art…and many other aspects.
Only in the afternoons, when he was free, would Linley run to the northeast of the small town, atop Dark Mountain, and hide in a quiet place. Under Doehring Cowart's guidance, he would absorb the knowledge of magic and work hard to learn magic. At the same time, he would meditate and work hard to refine mageforce.
In addition, every night after dinner, Linley would spend a large amount of time meditating.
Every day, Linley would only sleep for six hours. The rest of the time would be spent on warrior training, knowledge learning, magic training, meditation…and so on. Never think that six hours of sleep was enough. In fact, meditating and training one's spiritual power every day was very tiring, much more tiring than ordinary people. Every day, Linley would sleep for six hours, sleeping very deeply.
It was fulfilling, extremely fulfilling.
Time passed day by day, and Linley's improvement was obvious. It could even be considered a metamorphosis!
Leo was also waiting for an opportunity to get close to Linley.
"Big brother! You learned magic?" On the tenth day after Linley had learned magic, Leo suddenly appeared on Wushan, where Linley was training. He looked at the tiny Earth Spike Linley had just used.
"Oh!" This was the first time Linley had used magic. Before he could even begin to rejoice, he was stunned by Leo's appearance.”Linley asked in his heart.
"You were at a critical moment when you were about to cast your first spell. He was your younger brother, so he shouldn't have harmed you, so I didn't disturb you.”Doehring laughed." How you deal with him now is up to you!”
"Uh, yeah!" Linley laughed awkwardly."A few days ago, I picked up a magic book and began to practice according to the instructions in it. I didn't expect that I would actually be able to use magic…"
"I want to learn too!" Leo extended a hand.
"What do you mean?" Linley looked, puzzled, at Leo's outstretched hand…
"Spellbooks!" Leo laughed." We're brothers. If you can learn it, there's no reason I can't…"
"Eh!" Linley said anxiously,"I accidentally lost that book!"”
"It's okay. The book is lost, but you're still here!”Leo pressed on." You've learned magic. You should have no problem teaching a beginner like me, right?”
"This?" Linley hesitated for a moment, then asked in his heart,"Grandpa Doehring, what should we do?" Although I want to teach him, I don't know how to teach him, and I don't know if he can learn it. If he doesn't learn it, he'll be very sad…"
" Forget it, just do as I say. If I teach you one, it's still teaching you. If he can't learn it, I can't do anything about it…" Doehring said helplessly." Hmm, beginners should start with meditation!"”
"Alright, Leo, I'll teach you meditation first!”After receiving Doehring Cowart's guidance, Linley immediately taught Leo a basic meditation technique.
Leo had been thinking about the meditation method for a long time. He couldn't wait to start meditating as soon as he got the method.
Doehring Cowart, on the other hand, looked at Leo, who had entered a meditative state, in shock."Linley, your little brother was actually able to enter a meditative state so quickly. It seems that his spiritual energy is even higher than yours. However, whether or not he can learn magic will depend on his elemental affinity!”
Ignoring Doehring Cowart's surprise, Leo felt different as soon as he entered meditation. Wisps of magical elements were absorbed into his body and turned into wisps of magic power. This magic power was a little different from the one in Leo's body before. After meditation, the magic power was obviously easier to command, while Leo's own magic power was more difficult to command.
When Leo began to absorb the elements and turn them into magic power, Doehring Cowart was shocked again."Is this what it means to be a genius? He was able to meditate on his own after listening to the meditation technique once. Not only that, he had also figured out how to convert magical elements into magical power.”
"Linley, I have good news and bad news for you!”Doehring Cowart, after seeing Leo's performance, immediately said to Linley.
"Good news, bad news?" Linley asked, puzzled.
"The good news is that your brother Leo can learn earth magic. He has already begun to convert earth elements into magic power."As for the bad news, your brother is much more talented than you. I should say that he's more suited to be a Magician than you are…" Doehring Cowart laughed.
"Haha! It's fine. It's good that you're stronger than me!" Linley laughed." When Leo was young, for some reason, he was in a coma for four years. After he woke up, his body was very weak, and it was only in recent years that he gradually got better. To be able to see my younger brother, who has suffered since he was young, have such talent, of course I, as an older brother, am very happy!”
While Linley and Doehring Cowart were conversing, Leo had used a meditation technique to temper the mageforce within his body. Since the magic power was originally in Leo's body, the tempering was completed very quickly. Soon, Leo opened his eyes.
"Leo, how do you feel?" Seeing Leo open his eyes, Linley asked worriedly.
"I feel very good. I've never felt so good! It's so comfortable!" Leo smiled and stretched." What are we going to do next?”
"Linley, give him the spell I just taught you, the spell of the first rank, Earth Spike!”Doehring Cowart suggested.
"Good!" Linley said, then turned to Leo."Then let's try out the spell I just used. This is the spell of the first rank, Earth Spike. The spell incantation is…"
Due to Leo's powerful soul, he only needed to recite the spell once to remember it. Then, he quickly recited the spell.
"Hey, Leo, don't be in such a hurry! He had to familiarize himself with the magic incantation first. If he recited it wrongly, then…What!”Linley, who had been worried about Leo, suddenly saw this Earth Spike that was twice his height and said in surprise.
"Surprisingly simple!" Leo looked at the Earth Spike he had made, walked up to touch it, and said with satisfaction.
" He's able to refine enough mageforce on his first meditation session, and he's able to cast a level-one spell that's close to the power of a level-two spell on his first hearing of an incantation…" Doehring Cowart muttered." Just how strong is his elemental affinity and spiritual energy…"
Very quickly, Doehring Cowart reacted and said to Linley,"Your younger brother might be a magic genius that is hard to come by even in hundreds of years. He has a very high chance of advancing to the Sanctuary-realm. If you have time in the future, bring him over to learn together!”
"Excellent! Thank you, Grandpa Doehring!”Hearing Doehring Cowart's words, Linley was very happy as well. He then said to Leo,"Leo, this is our secret. Don't tell anyone else…in the future, come over and practice magic with me!"”
"Yes!" Leo nodded.
……………………………
Linley's perseverance and speed of improvement had caused Doehring Cowart, the Saint-level Grand Magus of the Pouant Empire five thousand years ago, to sigh in admiration. Leo's progress shocked him.
Because of his daily warrior training, Linley's body was becoming more and more robust. Because he had absorbed earth elemental essence to refine mageforce, as well as meditating frequently, Linley's entire aura had become calm and steady. Linley's transformation caused his father, Hogg, and Hillman to be extremely surprised and delighted.
At the same time, Leo's temperament didn't change much. However, because he had learned meditation, the magic power in his body became more and more convenient, which accelerated the strengthening of his body. Leo was now a Level 5 Warrior. However, after becoming a level-five warrior, Leo could clearly feel that the nourishment of his magic power had weakened a lot. At this rate, it might take him more than five years to become a level-six warrior.
"It seems that after entering school, I'll have to learn from Linley. The strengthening of my body still depends on warrior training. Relying solely on mageforce to nourish my body is a bit unorthodox.”Leo was very clear about his situation and made up his mind.
Spring passed and autumn came. In the blink of an eye, it was already autumn. There was only a month left before the magic test. In the past six months, Leo had already used up all of Doehring Cowart's Grade 1 to Grade 3 earth magic. Doehring Cowart was also surprised by Leo's progress. He had become a third-grade mage in half a year.
There was still a month before the magus test, but Linley still managed to discover a Godeater Rat, and began to 'pursue' it!
"Haha! Big brother!" Leo laughed." You've spent so much effort on that rat. Be careful that I'll pull you further and further away!”Leo couldn't help but joke as he watched Linley use the spike to kill the pheasant.
But in his heart, Leo was still very envious of Linley. After all, aside from Beirut, that was the only Godeater Rat. Unfortunately, considering that if this Godeater Rat had followed someone else, Linley might have died on the way, Leo didn't interfere with Linley's connection with the Godeater Rat.
"Leo, don't be so smug! It won't be long before I catch up!”Linley laughed.
"Linley, you still have a good chance of catching up to Leo. My guess is that his spiritual energy should have reached the level of a magus of the second rank before he started training, and then only reached the level of a magus of the third rank after half a year of training. It was impossible for him to maintain this cultivation speed in the future.”
After eavesdropping on Doehring Cowart's words, Leo thought,"Linley, oh Linley, I'm already a Saint-level cultivator…if you were to compete against me to become a Deity, perhaps you might still have a chance. But if you were to compete against me in terms of levels before becoming a Deity, then you'd already lose before even starting!”
In the blink of an eye, twenty days had passed since Linley had fed the little Shadowmouse. The little Shadowmouse was now extremely close to Linley, but for some reason, even though they were extremely close, the little Shadowmouse still showed no signs of using the 'Contract of Equality'.
"There's still no sign of a contract. It seems that you're going to lose everything!”Linley had already told Leo about his plans. Seeing that it was almost time for the magic test, Leo teased Linley.
