When he saw Lin Yuyang's dejected appearance and the tears flowing out of his eyes, Winesage's stubbornness flared up. However, just as he was about to explode, hesitation appeared in his eyes. He looked at Lin Yuyang's emaciated body and thought,
"He's only a thirteen-year-old child. Am I being too anxious? However, the burden on his shoulders…sigh!”
"Brat, why are you so dejected? Do you know how long it takes for a magical beast to cultivate before it can gain an upgrade? Magical beasts that have leveled up in thousands of years or tens of thousands of years can be found in every corner of the Wutuo Continent. You're giving up in less than two months?”
Winesage encouraged Lin Yuyang.
"A thousand years? Ten thousand years?"
Lin Yuyang asked in surprise.
"That's right! It was common for a magic beast to spend a thousand years to level up after it reached a higher level. Even for those level two magic beasts that you had killed, it would take a hundred years to level up from level one to level two. As for the higher levels, the magic beasts would be happy to die if they could successfully level up from level one to level two in a thousand years. Er…of course, your Xiaosi is an exception. He can devour magic nuclei, which is basically plundering the energy that others have cultivated for thousands of years.”
Winesage explained.
"Xiaosi?"
Lin Yuyang could not help but use his mind to enter the space bag to take a look at Xiaosi. Xiaosi was still sleeping quietly. To be able to devour the results of tens of millions of years of cultivation of other magical beasts... This little fellow's talent was really special.
"A thousand or ten thousand years? Hmm…my hard work is still not enough. If a magical beast advances by one level every thousand years, then I will use thousands of battles to advance by one level!”
Lin Yuyang's eyes suddenly lit up.
I don't believe that a lack of talent can't be made up for with hard work!
In truth, Winesage's words were meant to encourage Lin Yuyang. Magical beasts only needed to eat, drink, and poop for thousands of years, but he had to go through battle after battle.
After tidying up his thoughts, Lin Yuyang once again set foot on the path of cultivation.
This time, Lin Yuyang was much crazier than before. In the past, he had needed Winesage to urge him to fight, but this time, he didn't need Winesage's urging at all.
Even someone as strict as Winesage had begun to urge Lin Yuyang to rest.
Because Lin Yuyang was too crazy.
In the past, he was afraid that the magical beasts would come and find trouble with him. Now, Lin Yuyang was carrying his broken iron sword and looking for trouble with the magical beasts everywhere. Not only did he fight with the magical beasts of the second grade crazily, but he also took the risk to fight with the magical beasts of the third grade for a few rounds before running away.
Day after day, another half a month passed. This time, Lin Yuyang had fought more than a thousand times in just half a month. This was the total number of times he had fought in the previous month.
The clothes on his body had long been tattered, and he had become the dirty little beggar again. However, the beggar's clothes had turned blue, and the scars on Lin Yuyang's body were already countless.
His originally thin and weak body had actually grown a little muscle, making him look even stronger. His skin had also become tanned.
Finally, the heavens paid off, Lin Yuyang met the threshold of that second-grade martial guard.
The Surging Waves Triple Sword had also cultivated the first stage to the great success stage, and had even touched the threshold of the second stage.
However, because Lin Yuyang's level was too low, the power that he could unleash from this Earthly Grade martial technique was only about 10% to 20% of its original power.
Today, Lin Yuyang didn't go to battle because he was about to break through to a Grade 2 Martial Guard. He was meditating…
Winesage's illusory body sat off to the side, watching Lin Yuyang meditate as he broke through. A complicated look appeared in his eyes. Breaking through to the second rank in two months wasn't something to be proud of. Even a child with ordinary talent could advance from the first rank to the second rank in three months if they trained seven or eight hours a day under the guidance of a trainer.
But what about Lin Yuyang?
His cultivation speed was about the same as children with average talent, but the effort required was more than a hundred times that of those children. One had to know that these days, Lin Yuyang had almost never slept. Every day, he would fight with magical beasts dozens of times without a moment of rest. Even during those two to three hours of rest, Lin Yuyang was also meditating.
"This child!"
Winesage's gaze became amiable. For a moment, he had nothing to say to Lin Yuyang. Other than his poor talent, he couldn't find any other flaws in his training.
It was too light to describe his effort as crazy. Moreover, his comprehension ability was first-class. No matter what he taught, this kid could roughly understand it after listening to it once. He had courage and perseverance. The only flaw was his body.
Suddenly, Winesage felt that Lin Yuyang had almost perfectly met his standards.
"If it doesn't work, then we can only take the risk! My reputation as a top alchemist in the continent was not given for nothing! Old man, you chose Lin Yuyang because of this, right? You have full confidence in me!"
Winesage sighed to himself.
Suddenly, Lin Yuyang opened his eyes, and his eyes emitted a light.
Winesage could sense the faint ripples of energy coming from Lin Yuyang's body.
"You broke through?" Winesage said with a smile.
"Yes! I'm already a rank 2 martial guard!" Lin Yuyang said happily.
"That's right. It's so tiring to reach Level 2. I wonder how you'll walk in the future?”
Winesage was deliberately trying to attack Lin Yuyang.
Lin Yuyang was indeed a little dejected, but he quickly recovered his brilliance and said,
"If I have to work ten times harder than others as a Martial Guard, then I will work a hundred times harder as a Martial Master, and a thousand times harder as a Martial King! One day, I will also reach the peak of this continent!”
Over the past two months, under Winesage's guidance, Lin Yuyang had gained some understanding of the world of experts. He had developed a desire to reach that level.
He was no longer the child who only wanted to live an ordinary life, but a child with a higher goal.
Of course, there was no lack of selfishness in Winesage's actions. He had deliberately made Lin Yuyang desire to reach the peak. After all, Winesage still had a heavy mission on his shoulders. If it wasn't for this mission, perhaps Winesage would have let Lin Yuyang live a peaceful life after reaching a certain level of strength. After all, this child was too tired!
However, this 'if' did not exist!
Lin Yuyang still had a heavy burden that bore the fate of the entire continent!
It was just that Lin Yuyang himself did not know!
A satisfied smile appeared on Winesage's face as he watched Lin Yuyang's performance.
"Senior Winesage, may I ask about the split training method…"
Lin Yuyang begged like a spoiled child.
If one wanted to reach the peak, then it was best to study in the academy for a few years. After all, the most outstanding teachers of the continent were gathered there. Winesage's initial dislike of this idea had turned into approval and even support.
Although Winesage had been quite a powerful expert in the past, three million years had passed. He couldn't be sure what the cultivators of the continent had invented in those three million years.
More importantly, even Lin Yuyang himself wasn't sure about the earth-type essence. That was the power Old Man Earth Saint had left behind for him. Old Man Winesage didn't know how to use this power, so it was best if he had a teacher with earth-type essence to nurture him.
"Humph! Insatiable greed! I've already said that I won't teach you until you wake up!”
Old Winesage's face was filled with anger. He turned around and slipped into the broken sword, ignoring Lin Yuyang. Unfortunately, Lin Yuyang didn't see a satisfied smile on Old Winesage's face as he slipped into the broken sword.
Lin Yuyang had no way of dealing with Old Man Sheng's temper. He could only stare blankly as Old Man Winesage entered the broken iron sword. He scratched his head and continued to meditate. After all, he had just advanced to the second rank and still needed to stabilize himself.
When he had become a first rank guard, Lin Yuyang had no teacher to guide him, so he had no idea how to stabilize his power. As a result, his power had become very unstable in battle. Through Winesage's guidance, Lin Yuyang had gradually come to understand the cultivation technique.
Entering meditation, Lin Yuyang felt the martial qi in his body. Although the martial qi of a level two martial guard was still very thin, Lin Yuyang was very happy. After all, this was the martial qi that he had risked his life for these two months.
Time passed.
Lin Yuyang had been meditating for three days and two nights. The martial qi in his body had completely stabilized. Now, as long as Lin Yuyang wanted to activate it, he could activate the level two martial qi in his body.
However, because Lin Yuyang's bloodline power was weak, it still took some effort to activate it. Even so, Lin Yuyang was still satisfied. After all, he knew that his talent could not be compared to others.
Just as Lin Yuyang stabilized his martial qi and was feeling happy in his heart, suddenly, a chaotic sound was heard.
The light metal clanging and heavy footsteps sounded like the armor and footsteps of mercenaries.
Lin Yuyang was too familiar with this voice. For many years, he had come into contact with this voice every day.
Hearing the sound, Lin Yuyang opened his eyes, carried the broken iron sword on his back, and hurriedly hid in a bush.
Soon, more than ten figures appeared in front of Lin Yuyang.
A tall mercenary was walking in front. He looked like the captain of this team. Based on Lin Yuyang's ability, the strength of this mercenary team captain should be at least a Grade 4 Martial Guard.
The group of mercenaries behind him were all around the strength of a Grade 3 Martial Guard. Amongst them were the two mercenaries who almost killed Lin Yuyang in Puni Town that day. These two people had actually escaped from the Devil Devil Gang?
Lin Yuyang wanted to rush over and kill the two mercenaries immediately, but before he could get angry, he was shocked.
What shocked Lin Yuyang was the center of the team, an old man with a proud figure and white beard.
He seemed to be the one being protected by the mercenaries.
An old man could not shock Lin Yuyang.
Lin Yuyang was not shocked that a mercenary was protecting a person.
However, the black badge in front of this old man shocked Lin Yuyang!
That old man was clearly a shadow artist!
The black badge with a skull clamped on it clearly showed that this old man was definitely a one-star shadow person.
Although Lin Yuyang had never seen a shadow man before, he had heard of rumors about shadow men.
That terrifying individual strength would be treated as a distinguished guest wherever he went, and no one would dare to offend him easily. Otherwise, even if he was a person with the strength of a City Lord, his head might explode inexplicably one night.
Offending a Shadow Man was really difficult to sleep and eat in peace. Moreover, no one could guarantee that they would not need the Shadow Man's help in the future. The Shadow Man accepted missions according to his preferences. After all, they did not lack money.
Therefore, it was very important to cultivate a good relationship with a film artist.
This was because the shadow man was at least a Martial Honor or above.
If a Martial Honor couldn't handle the danger, even if thousands of mercenaries came, it would be useless. Even if a Martial Honor was seriously injured or had his abilities restricted, he was still a small figure with the strength of a Martial Guard. No matter how down and out a Martial Honor was, he wouldn't need the protection of a Martial Guard.
But now, such a powerful figure was actually protected by small mercenaries with the strength of a martial guard. It was simply a strange story…
