"Hehe, child, come and sit beside me.”Tang Ke pointed at the chair beside him and said to Feng Yingkuang who was still standing,"I know you have a lot of questions. Sit down first and we'll talk about it slowly. Don't worry, we have a whole day.”
Feng Yingkuang didn't refuse, he thanked Tang Ke and sat down. Indeed, just like Tang Ke said, he had many questions he wanted to ask this court archmage in priest robes. The hypnotic energy with bewitching properties, the energy form that Feng Yingkuang had never seen before, the incomprehensible energy with life, these were all questions that Feng Yingkuang wanted to understand.
After a period of silence, Tang Ke spoke first,""Ever since the Demon Tower was completed, you are the first guest to come here. Haha, perhaps this is God's most ingenious arrangement!”
Seeing Feng Yingkuang's disdainful smile, Tang Ke thought that Feng Yingkuang just didn't believe in God or the God of this planet. Who knew that Feng Yingkuang really didn't care about " God ".
Tang Ke continued," Actually, when you arrived on this continent, I had already noticed it. I just didn't know that the one I've been looking for was right beside me. Haha, don't be surprised. You should know how intense the magical wave was when you fell on this planet. I believe that anyone with the ability would be able to sense it. If there was a difference, it was probably in the judgment of the location.”
Hearing Tang Ke's words, Feng Yingkuang frowned deeply. After pondering for a moment, he was sure that Tang Ke was telling the truth. Although he didn't know how strong Tang Ke was, his identity as the Archmage of Arsus should be unquestionable. Moreover, with the level of magic development and knowledge on the Rostocke Continent, the huge energy contained in his fall and the super high-intensity energy explosion after he woke up could be easily detected.
"Hmm…you should know that old man, Fasiris Karen, right?”
Feng Yingkuang nodded. He definitely knew Fasiuri. He was the first person he had come into contact with, and he was currently stationed in the Wind Shadow Castle on the Kuge Prairie.
"I also vaguely knew some things from him, but he always spoke very vaguely, so it was difficult for me to fully understand. It wasn't until I heard her husband's secret from my dear granddaughter the day before yesterday that I realized that the person I had been looking for was you.”
"Why are you looking for me?" Tang Ke had been looking for him? This made Feng Yingkuang feel extremely puzzled.
Tang Ke pondered for a moment, organized the words in his mind, and began to answer Feng Yingkuang's question." When you fell on this…well, you called it a 'planet', I sensed the violent fluctuations of the huge fire magic elements. It was a very shocking fluctuation. However, just as I was about to investigate further, the mana fluctuations disappeared. Originally, I thought that it was a few powerful Magicians, at least at the Sage level, casting a large scale forbidden spell. However, when I sensed the same type of magic waves for the second time, I rejected this thought.”
Looking at Feng Yingkuang, who was listening attentively to him, Tang Ke continued," According to the magic knowledge on the Rostocker Continent, the more proficient one is in a type of magic, the higher the rank of the mage, the purer the magic elements he has. However, the magic elements that I sensed for the second time were unusually chaotic and violent. It almost contained all the magic elements. This was completely beyond common sense and imagination. At that time, I thought that it was just an accidental explosion of magical elements, so I didn't take it to heart.
However, that night, Fahuri sent me a magic note, telling me that he had encountered a very strange thing today. Perhaps, a new type of magic would appear in his hands. When I pressed him, he didn't say anything more. "At that time, I guessed that he must have been at the scene when the magical elements exploded in the morning. He witnessed this unusual phenomenon and was inspired, but I never thought that the real situation would be like this…" Tang Ke's voice became lower and lower until it was almost inaudible.
Feng Yingkuang was a bit confused. He didn't understand what Tang Ke's words had to do with finding him. At least, Feng Yingkuang couldn't find any connection.
The whole room was filled with a strange silence. Tang Ke Edward, the noble court archmage of the Arthurs Empire, seemed to have fallen into some kind of memory and closed his bright eyes that did not match his age.
Suddenly, Tang Ke opened his closed eyes, and a flash of light appeared in his eyes. There was a fanatical emotion in his eyes." Great Mage, Great Mage…The lifelong pursuit of a mage, he actually achieved it so easily, so easily!”Without any warning, Tang Ke suddenly grabbed Feng Yingkuang's arm," I know, this must have something to do with you! It must be related to you! If it weren't for your appearance, Fassuri might never have been able to break through the bottleneck of the Sage Plane and become the only Great Mage on the continent! After I heard the secrets that Kathleen told me, I was even more certain of this!”
Tang Ke probably realized that he had lost his composure, so he calmed down a little and let go of Feng Yingkuang's hands."Hehe, child, I'm so sorry. I hope I didn't scare you."”
"No, I can understand your excitement, but Grandpa, I still don't understand why you keep looking for me.”Feng Yingkuang shook his head and smiled as he voiced out the question in his heart.
"Haha! I started learning magic when I was twelve years old. It has been about sixty years. Although I can't say that I've completely understood magic, at the very least, my understanding of magic isn't inferior to anyone else. When I first met Fasiuri, he was forty years old. At that time, he was already a Sage Mage. However, when he returned to Cullen, he was already sixty-four years old and was still a Sage. However, in the short few months after Rolina went to the Kuge Prairie, he became a Great Mage in a single leap. It would be impossible to say that he didn't have any fortuitous encounters. And after my analysis, his 'fortuitous encounter' was you. I've been searching for the reason why Fasuris could break through the Sage bottleneck, so I've been searching for you!”
After listening to Tang Ke's complete explanation, Feng Yingkuang was a little surprised. He really did not expect that Tang Ke had asked him to talk to him face to face. It had nothing to do with his background, but was instead concerned about magic.
If Tang Ke's guess was correct, then according to his thoughts, Faxiu Rui was able to become a Great Mage entirely because of his help.
He had indeed taught Faxiu in some aspects, but it had nothing to do with magic.
"Grandfather, I don't know if your guess is correct. I did teach Fasiuri some things, but it shouldn't have anything to do with the magic you mentioned.”
Tang Ke was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
"Nothing to do with magic? This…What did you teach him? According to my guess, there shouldn't be any mistakes.”
"Uh…that's about it." Feng Yingkuang carefully recalled how he had met Fasuri. After confirming that what he had taught Fasuri had nothing to do with magic, he began to explain to his grandfather," Kathleen should have told you that when I came to this planet, the first person I came into contact with was Fasuri. At that time, only he could understand me, so I had more contact with him than others. Because I saw that he always looked very weak after practicing magic, and because he could go to war at any time in that situation, I chose a few simple body-strengthening martial arts that I knew and taught him. You should know that I do not know magic.”
After listening attentively to Feng Yingkuang's explanation, Tang Ke nodded slightly. He indeed could not feel any magic elements around Feng Yingkuang's body. Although Windshade was sitting there casually and the aura he exuded was very powerful, any Magician, even a Magician's Apprentice, would be surrounded by the same magical elements as the one he practiced. However, Windshade did not have any around him, which meant that he really did not know magic.
"But, how do you explain Faxiu's advancement? Could it be that he had accumulated enough power to break through the level of a Sage?”Tang Ke lowered his head and whispered to himself, but he soon denied his thoughts." Impossible. When he returned to Cullen, I felt that the magic elements around his body were in a calm state. He didn't show any signs of breaking through. Then how do you explain his change?"
The advancement of a mage was different from that of a warrior, because the strength of a mage was directly determined by magic power and magic elements. Therefore, when a mage's power had accumulated to a certain extent and was about to advance, the magic elements surrounding the mage's body would become restless due to the substantial increase in magic power. It would only gradually stabilize after the advancement was completed. After advancing, the magic elements surrounding a mage and the magic power contained in the mage would have a qualitative change compared to the previous level.
"Grandpa." Feng Yingkuang's voice interrupted Tang Ke's thoughts." Why don't you ask him face to face? Although he is currently in the Kuge Prairie, I heard from Fahuri that there is a spell that allows for long-distance communication. You…should know how to do it, right?"
Hearing Feng Yingkuang's words, Tang Ke suddenly woke up. That's right, why didn't he just ask Faxiu directly? Who knew the cause and effect of the matter better than the person involved? Scolding himself for being an idiot, Tang Ke immediately began to prepare this troublesome spell.
In fact, Tang Ke couldn't be blamed for looking far away. When he learned that the person he had been looking for was by his side and had become his grandson-in-law not long ago, the great excitement made him almost forget everything. If not for his son and granddaughter's obstruction, he would have immediately gone to see Feng Yingkuang. After being dissuaded, he was worried that Windshadow Craze would come. Moreover, since the person he guessed to be crucial to Fasuri's advancement was here, he naturally didn't think of asking Fasuri.
A person's subjective nature always played a very important role in the way people did things and thought.
A long string of incantations came out of Tang Ke's mouth. Twelve thumb-sized magic crystals that were placed on the light curtain that was flowing with colorful light began to flash with a faint light. The light was reflected by the light yellow diamond-shaped magic crystal on the roof and the runes around the groove.
As Tang Ke's chanting became faster and faster, the upper and lower beams of light connected together and then slowly converged. A figure began to gradually become clear.
"Hey, old man, I didn't expect it to be you. Why are you looking for me?" When the floating beam of light completely stabilized, Fahuri's voice entered the ears of the two people present.
Tang Ke, who was originally in high spirits, heard this sentence, and his face immediately turned ugly. Old thing, don't think that you're proud just because you've become an archmage. When I started playing with magic, you were still nowhere to be seen!”
"You…"
"What do you mean you? I'll introduce you to someone I know!”Tang Ke knew that Faxiu Rui couldn't say anything nice, so he immediately interrupted him and pulled Feng Yingkuang to his side." Feng Yingkuang, the Empire's God of War. I think you know him."”Tang Ke's tone was full of pride. That was true. Anyone who had a grandson-in-law like Feng Yingkuang would be very proud, not to mention in front of his "old enemy".
"What? Master…"
Seeing Feng Yingkuang's appearance, Faxiu Rui, who had been very arrogant to Tang Ke, immediately became extremely respectful. He even bowed deeply to Feng Yingkuang. However, what truly shocked Tang Ke was the way Faxiurui addressed Feng Yingkuang. Although he knew that Feng Yingkuang had taught him some kind of martial arts technique, he did not expect that Faxiu would respect him so much.
Compared to Tang Ke's shock, Feng Yingkuang was very calm. It seemed that this was not the first time that Fasiurie had called him that." Yes, Grandpa has something to ask you. You guys can talk about it."”After saying that, he turned around and walked to the bookshelf. He casually picked up a book and started reading.
After an unknown period of time, Tang Ke's helpless and regretful sigh echoed in the room.
Feng Yingkuang turned around and saw Tang Ke shaking his head slightly, as well as Faxiu's image that was gradually disappearing." What's wrong? Doesn't he know?"
"No, no. He told me that he had already analyzed the reason. However, the magic failed halfway through.”Tang Ke was still shaking his head regretfully, thinking how good it would be if he could listen to Faxiu Rui's analysis.
Although he hadn't heard all of Faxiu Rui's analysis, Tang Ke knew from what he had said that his transformation was directly related to the martial technique Feng Yingkuang had taught him. After hesitating for a long time, Tang Ke finally made up his mind. Compared to the pursuit of magic, everything else seemed not so important.
"Mister…Feng…Child, please accept me as your disciple. Please teach me the same martial arts technique as Faxiurui…"
Tang Ke was very determined to say this, not only because Feng Yingkuang was now his grandson-in-law, but also because Fa Xiurui had already become Feng Yingkuang's first disciple. If Tang Ke, who had always been in conflict with Faxiu, were to take Feng Yingkuang as his master, it would mean that he would have to face Faxiu as a junior brother, which meant that he would be half a step lower than Faxiu. However, for the sake of magic, Tang Ke, who had a fanatical pursuit, still made up his mind to say the above words.
In this sentence, Tang Ke Edward changed the way he addressed Feng Yingkuang, his grandson-in-law. First, it was " child ", then " wind ", and finally " sir ". The three changes in the way he addressed Feng Yingkuang also showed the change in his thinking.
As for the term " child ", it was because Feng Yingkuang was still his grandson-in-law and his junior in Tang Ke's eyes. However, this was obviously very inappropriate for Tang Ke, who wanted to acknowledge him as his master. Therefore," child " became " wind "... This was a very intimate term. People who were very close to each other only called each other by name, indicating that they had deep feelings for each other and that they had a close relationship. However, for Tang Ke, this title was still not appropriate, because this title was mostly used between peers. Tang Ke was Feng Yingkuang's elder, so he changed the title of " Feng " to " Mister ".
Sir. When a person expressed his respect to another person, he would use this term. Sometimes," sir " could also represent a teacher. There were many reasons why Tang Ke chose this name. Not only did he not want to lower himself in front of Faxiu, but he also had to take into account the identity of Feng Yingkuang's grandfather.
However, Tang Ke's consideration was a waste of energy. For the extremely simple Feng Yingkuang, he did not know that the relationship between people could be so complicated. Therefore, his thoughts were extremely simple. He remembered that before he left, Luo Lina had always reminded him to respect Kathleen's family and to be clear about his own seniority. Furthermore, Feng Yingkuang had no intention of keeping these martial arts techniques for himself. He even wanted to call him master.
"Grandpa, don't be like this." Feng Yingkuang put down the book in his hand and quickly stepped forward to help Tang Ke up." If you want to learn, I'm very happy to teach you. It's nothing in my place."”
Indeed, in the Earth Federation where Feng Yingkuang came from, some basic ancient martial arts were a course that everyone had to learn. Ever since the ancient martial arts made a comeback, the federal government had used laws to force people to learn it. This would not only help improve the quality of the people, but also greatly reduce the huge medical investment of the federal government every year.
"Nothing?" Tang Ke looked at Feng Yingkuang in shock. He could not believe that a martial technique that could change a mage's life was nothing in Feng Yingkuang's eyes.
Feng Yingkuang nodded and replied,"Yes, except for a few ancient martial arts that are set by the government…which is equivalent to the royal family here. They have set a rule that there are very few ancient martial arts that have powerful destructive power or that are extremely sinister when practiced. The ancient martial arts that are circulated among the people encourage people to communicate with each other, so it's not a big deal to teach a person martial arts in our place. Moreover, I taught Fasiuri the most basic things. It was an ancient martial art that almost all the commoners in my country knew.”
If Tang Ke was shocked just now, then he was dumbfounded now." Everyone knows it? What kind of concept was this? Wouldn't everyone become a Great Mage? If there was a conflict, the Forbidden Spells of two Great Mages could easily destroy a large city like Cullen in an instant. "This…this…" Tang Ke couldn't find the words to describe it.
"Uh…"
Facing Tang Ke's question, Feng Yingkuang really couldn't answer it. This seemingly simple question involved too many things, some of which Feng Yingkuang didn't understand. He couldn't tell Tang Ke that magic didn't exist in the Earth Federation. The combat units there were individual ion guns, earth-shattering nuclear power fighter jets, huge starships, and biochemical warriors like him.
"Grandpa, what did Fasiuri say to you just now? How did he analyze it? Why did he suddenly disappear halfway through?”Unable to answer Tang Ke's question, Windshadow Craze had to change the topic.
Sure enough, Tang Ke's attention was immediately attracted after hearing about magic." This kind of long-distance transmission magic is called the 'Gift of the God of Space', and some people call it' God's Compromise.'In fact, there is no unified name. This type of spell was very complicated, and it required a huge amount of magic power. Even a great mage like Fasiuri would need to use magic crystals to cast it, just not as much as I did. This was because this was a 'time magic', which meant that only after a long period of time could they communicate. If the magic crystal's magic power was exhausted during the process of casting the spell, or if it was disturbed by other magic elements during the casting of the spell, even the smallest interference would make the spell ineffective. Moreover, because the amount of magic power used was very large, no mage could use it continuously.”
Windshadow Craze nodded in understanding. He had a very deep impression of this spell that he had only seen twice. This holographic image created by magic was indeed like its name!! It was a gift from the Spatial God, a compromise from God.
"As for Fasiurie's analysis, it was a bit messy. Moreover, because he only said half of it, it wasn't particularly clear.”Tang Ke continued to answer Feng Yingkuang's question," Basically, it means that his level increase happened after he practiced the martial technique you taught him for a period of time, so it must be related to this martial technique. According to his analysis, the increase in his physical strength should have increased his magic power and his control over magic elements. That was why he had a breakthrough.”
"An increase in physical strength? Grandpa, is it true that mages can't cultivate warrior's battle energy here?”
"Yes, it's like this. Because the magic power that we Magicians use is completely different from battle energy, and because Magicians spend most of their time meditating to absorb magic power, their bodies are very fragile.”Tang Ke nodded, confirming Feng Yingkuang's guess.
Was I wrong? Everything I taught Na 'er back then was wrong? Impossible! According to the explanation of energy, the so-called magic elements and combat qi were both the use of energy drifting in space. It was just that the forms were different. However, Grandpa's explanation completely denied this theory. How could this be? Windshadow Craze speculated in his heart. He had thought that he had understood the essence of magic, but it had been denied. This made him somewhat confused.
Tang Ke looked at Feng Yingkuang's tightly knitted brows and his expression was a bit nervous. He thought that Feng Yingkuang was hesitant to teach him martial arts techniques.
"Is there a problem?"
"Uh…it's nothing. I was just wondering why magic and martial arts are different.”
"Why is it different?" Tang Ke was stunned. He had never thought about this question in his life. Why is it different?"
"Okay, Grandpa, don't think about this anymore. Let's talk about the ancient martial arts first.”
Tang Ke's expression tensed up, and he immediately put all his attention on Feng Yingkuang. Even his body, which was leaning back in the chair, was tense.
"Okay, go ahead!"
Feng Yingkuang pondered for a moment and said,""Grandpa, if you think that ancient martial arts can really help you break through your current magic level, I want to teach you another set of ancient martial arts. Hmm…you have to learn the set that Fasiuri practices as well. That is the foundation of all ancient martial arts. You can only learn other ancient martial arts if you master this first.”
"Another set? Was it any different from the one that Fasuri cultivated?”
" Yes, what Fasiuri practices is only very basic stuff. Strictly speaking, it's not even considered ancient martial arts. It's just a set of exercises to strengthen the body. Since you feel that ancient martial arts will be helpful to you, then I will choose one that suits you and teach it to you. I think the effect will be better than Fasuri's. Although the difficulty is a little higher, if you practice well, even if you don't use magic, a dozen ordinary soldiers won't be your match. But…"
Right now, Tang Ke was extremely excited. A martial technique that was more outstanding than Faxiuri's meant that he would have magic that was more powerful than a Great Mage. How could he not be excited?
"But what? Quickly tell me!"
Windshadow Craze looked at the old man in surprise. He naturally did not understand the old man's fervent desire and pursuit of magic, but he still answered his question truthfully,"" It's just that it'll take a little longer. If I'm not wrong, it'll take about a month from the time I taught him the basic ancient martial arts until he advanced to become a Great Mage. The ancient martial arts that you're going to practice will probably take a year, or even longer.”
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!"Are you going to teach me now?" Tang Ke was already a little impatient. The temptation of a Great Mage was too great for him.
"I'm afraid I can't do it now. I have to go home and record it down. It's very dangerous to practice high-level ancient martial arts. I'll get Na 'er to come over and teach you the basics first, which is the set that Faxiurie practiced. When I'm ready, you can officially start cultivating.”
"Good, good! Haha, I'm really looking forward to it!"
Unknowingly, the court archmage of the Arsus Empire, the marquis of the Arsus Empire!! Tang Ke Edward's eyes began to blur. He had already fallen into the fantasy of a wonderful future. Thus, the semi-circular room at the top of the magic tower fell into silence again.
Feng Yingkuang picked up the book beside him again and quietly read it carefully…
Finally, Tang Ke woke up. He looked at Feng Yingkuang who was concentrating on reading. A question lingered in his mind." Child, there is a question I don't know if I should ask.”
"Grandpa, go ahead. There's nothing you can't ask. There were no secrets between friends and family.”
Tang Ke was stunned by Feng Yingkuang's words. He really didn't expect that this grandson-in-law who emitted a cold and indifferent aura from his bones would actually say such words. How would he know that " there are no secrets between teammates " was something that Wind Shadow Craze's instructor had always taught and reminded them. Wind Shadow Craze had only changed it slightly.
"My naughty granddaughter told me that you accidentally fell here from another planet. What do you mean by 'another planet'? How did you live in the past? I can feel from your temperament that you are different from all the people I have met. I am very curious about where such an outstanding person like you can be nurtured.”Tang Ke was really curious. Although Kathleen told him that her husband was not from anywhere on the Rostocker Continent, that was all he knew.
"My previous life?"
Feng Yingkuang's expression began to change in an instant. Confusion, nostalgia, anger, pain, gratitude, joy, loss, sadness... A series of intense emotions appeared on his face continuously.
Tang Ke had never thought that a person could produce such rich emotions in a moment.
"Planets…in layman's terms, they are circular objects that exist in the sky above our heads in another place that is infinitely far away. Hmm…that's about it."
After calming down, Feng Yingkuang tried very hard to explain his question in terms that Tang Ke could understand. It was really difficult.
However, just as Feng Yingkuang finished his explanation, Tang Ke's second question immediately came.
"Infinite distance? How far is that?"
" Uh…If we walk, the planet closest to the Rostocker Continent will take billions of years to reach…" Windshadow Kuang did not want to dwell on this topic any longer, so he immediately continued," The planet I'm on is called Earth, and the highest power there is the Chinese Federation on Earth. Over there, I was a warrior, leading twelve of my team members, living for the sake of slaughter…"
Feng Yingkuang's voice suddenly became very low, and his entire person appeared in a very strange state.
"I don't have parents. I was created by genetic technology. From the moment I stepped out of the concoction, I began to undergo extremely intense death training. My instructor told me that only the best people have the right to live. We lived in a desert and snow. Other than the necessary time to eat, we only had about four hours of sleep. The rest of the time, everyone was undergoing non-stop death training. Every moment, there would be people who couldn't hold on, or people who didn't complete the mission would die, and then a new batch would be added…This situation continued. I don't know how long it lasted, until one day, our Chief Instructor told us that we were the 1,000 people who survived out of a million people. We were the best.”
Tang Ke took a deep breath. He felt himself trembling uncontrollably, trembling in fear. One million left with one thousand. The shockingly cruel survival rate of one in a thousand was actually paid with more than nine hundred thousand lives in order to train one thousand people. This is crazy…#Transcendence Review Passed: Daguan Time:1024201811:10AM
