Episode 2 – Growing Up Chapter 19 – Who’s Number One? (above)
The mountains behind Ernst Academy were silent.
Linley sat cross-legged beside the stream, listening to the sound of the stream gurgling, naturally entering a meditative state, the surrounding earth system elements and wind system elements were so clearly visible, everything within a dozen or so meters around Linley was clearer than ever before.
The earth system elements and wind system elements entered the body from the limbs and bones, the muscles, sinews and even the organs in the body were slowly absorbing the nourishment of the earth system elements and wind system elements. The quality of the body was steadfastly and continuously improving at an extremely slow speed.
There was also a large amount of earth system elements and wind system elements that were purified and refined, and eventually gathered in the ‘Middle Dantian’ in the center of the chest.
“The gurgling sound of a bubbling stream flowing continuously.
Next to it, the small shadow mouse ‘Bei Bei’ was tearing into a pheasant all the time, what a serene and peaceful picture, this scene at this time can be entered into the picture.
However, when it was quiet here, the interior of the Ernst College was very noisy. Thousands of students from the entire academy, as well as a large number of magic teachers, and even many big names from the outside world had entered the Ernst Academy to watch the battle.
The age ring match.
The trainees of the Ernst Academy were all the pride of the heavens!
A ring match that was all very exciting, the first year’s match that was fireballs, lightning bolts, and wind blades going back and forth. And three level four match, that is wonderful, a variety of auxiliary magic, ranged attack magic, such as the shattering of the stone, but also dozens of hundreds of boulders smashed down on the head, lightning is a succession.
As for the fifth level and sixth level matches, it’s even more amazing.
All kinds of dazzling magic appeared one after another, and the terrifying explosions rumbled one after another. The cheers of the students watching from below rose and fell, and the atmosphere was at its peak. The vast majority of the entire academy had gathered here. ……
The age ring tournament had lasted for nearly a month, and this one month period was also the most lively and frantic month in the entire Ernst Academy, and during these lively days, Linley had only occasionally watched the level 5 and 6 tournaments, and the vast majority of the rest of the time was spent quietly cultivating by himself.
“This tournament also requires that no one be intentionally put to death. This kind of tournament with bound hands and feet, is it still called a tournament?”
Under Derinkelwalt’s inculcation, Linley was also disdainful of this kind of braggadocio-natured competition.
“Linley, your task now is to properly cultivate and accumulate your strength, as for combat experience, wait until you reach the fifth level of magician and enter the edge of the Magical Beast Mountain Range for a true trial of life and death before you accumulate it.”
Delinquent Corvette persuaded Linley thus.
The Wardley Hotel, the most luxurious hotel among the consumer places within the Ernst Academy, today Yale had invited the four brothers of Dormitory 1987 to get together in this Wardley Hotel.
The first floor of the Waltrip Hotel.
The floor of the hotel was as bright as a mirror, and a row of beautiful female waitresses stood there respectfully, ready to listen to orders.
There were a lot of men and women in cadet uniforms in the Waldry Hotel, and most of the people who could spend money here had high economic strength, so a random table of dishes would require dozens of gold coins. If it was Linley, he wouldn’t be able to afford it.
The grades competition had just ended, and most of the cadets in the entire hotel were talking about the grades competition. Most of the people here were youths, but there was a table with four children.
“This grade tournament is just bad luck when I think about it, almost, almost I would have been able to enter the semi-finals. Maybe I’ll be able to get one of the top three.”
Reynolds said with great dissatisfaction, Reynolds was the youngest among the four brothers, and at the same time Reynolds was also the most proud and confident one.
Yale laughed, “It’s quite a pity, I didn’t expect that Rand to get first place in the end.”
George smiled and didn’t say much.
George was a good old man and offended almost no one.
“Rand? Right, I’ve heard you guys say that, isn’t that the one amongst our batch of new trainees who has superb elemental affinity and spiritual power?”
Linley did remember the name ‘Rand’.
George smiled and nodded, “Yes, that’s him, his talent was already high, and before he even practiced, his natural mental strength had reached the requirements for a second level magician, and this year was just a matter of accumulating enough magical power. With the strength of a second grade magician, it’s not hard to get first place in the first year ring.”
“What’s talent alone? Compared to talent, is he better than our academy’s first genius ‘Dixie’?”
Yale bristled, “I despise that Rand, not just getting first place in the first year tournament, Linley, you didn’t see it, that smug look he had after getting first place. I really don’t know what he’d be like if he got first place in the fifth or sixth year ring.”
The higher up a magician went, the harder it was to cultivate.
That’s why the thousands of trainees in the entire Ernst Academy, most of whom were in the upper grades, became more and more competitive the higher up the grades they were in the ring.
Reno also nodded his head and said, “I also see that he is very upset, our academy’s first genius character, third year ‘Dixie’, what kind of demeanor is it after someone else wins first place in the third year ring? The difference between the two is too great. And our first year’s first place is not him Rand.”
“Yeah, you weren’t in it, oldest, if you were, hmmm.”
Yale grunted.
A group of teenagers also Xing row generation, Yale, George, Linley, Reynolds four people in order to row down, the three intimate time is even call each other ‘oldest two’ ‘oldest three’.
“Hey, what are you guys talking about?”
Linley, Yale and the other four turned their heads to look, only to see the same four teenagers strolling down the stairs from the second floor of the Waltrip Hotel, the blonde teenager at the head looking coldly at Linley and the four.
Yale grinned broadly, “Oh, so it’s you, Rand, what are we talking about, didn’t you hear us?”
Linley smiled helplessly in his heart.
Yale was a man who wasn’t afraid of the sky and the earth, and was extraordinarily facetious.
“Hmph, don’t think I didn’t hear you.”
Rand said coldly.
The brown-haired teenager next to Rand also snorted and said in an arrogant tone, “Rand, don’t bother with these four losers, it’s not worth it to bother with them. Reno, what are you looking at? Did you lose in the ring match and are not convinced?”
Reno stared at the brown-haired teenager, the corner of his mouth curled up in mock disdain, “What are you, didn’t you just get lucky and win me once? What are you complacent about?”
The brown-haired teenager could not help but face a cold face.
George laughed at this time, “Rand, well, it’s our fault for commenting on you guys randomly, let’s leave this matter at that.”
“George, shut up, there’s no place for you to talk here.”
Rand’s eyes stared at Yale, “Yale, last time in the Fragrant Elm bar, I saw your arrogant appearance was very unpleasant, this time you are still arrogant with me, have the ability to go to the ring match with me, why don’t you have the guts to compare ah.”
Said Rand also smugly laughed a few times.
Yale could not help but be a little annoyed, but his strength was indeed inferior.
All of a sudden the others in the entire hotel paid attention to these two parties, many of the Ernst Cadet seniors stood up and looked at these two parties with interest. These two parties were obviously both just kids around ten years old.
“That blonde kid I recognize, his name is Rand, he’s the number one in the first year ring, I’m sure his achievements won’t be low in the future.”
“The brown-haired kid next to him, seems to be called Risen, is the third in the first year ring, I also know him. This Rand and his group should have the advantage in terms of strength, it looks like things are interesting.”
This group of fifth and sixth level magicians talked and laughed with each other, all paying attention to these two parties.
Rand was being watched, especially when he heard others say that he was number one in the first year ring, he couldn’t help but add a trace of pride to his face, while looking at Linley’s four with an increasingly disdainful gaze.
“Yo.”
Rand swept a glance towards Linley’s four brothers’ table, “Juice? You guys still drink juice? Jeez, Yale, I’m blushing for you, the four brothers in our dorm are drinking ‘Kelvic’. You guys still drink juice.”
Linley couldn’t help but frown when he saw this Rand looking like he was finished.
“Rand, our four brothers are eating here, so get the hell away from me.”
Linley’s face sank as he looked indifferently at these four people.
If it was when he was cultivating, if there were any beasts beside him disturbing, he would have killed them directly long ago.
“Oh, there’s one more.”
Rand’s eyes lit up as he stared at Linley, “Yale’s dormitory still has a character like you, how come I never knew?”
Linley’s eyes went cold.
The entire person rushed out at breakneck speed like a cunning rabbit, and Rand’s eyes couldn’t help but widen, “You-”
Before Rand could react, Linley grabbed Rand’s neck with one hand and suspended Rand’s entire body by arm strength alone.
“Uh, ah, ah ……”
At this moment, Rand’s throat couldn’t produce a single sound at all, and his eyes were filled with terror.
Linley’s cold eyes stared at Rand, and Rand, who was terrified in his heart, only felt that he could be killed at any moment.
And at this time, Linley felt the dragonblood warrior bloodline burning within his body, that bloodthirsty feeling bubbling up again. Linley couldn’t help but frown, persuading himself in his mind, “This is the Ernst Academy, you can’t kill for no reason.”
The three cadets next to Rand were also stunned at this time.
“Get out.”
With a wave of Linley’s arm, Rand’s entire body was thrown to the side and smashed on the ground like a sandbag.
