Episode 5 The Sword of the Gods ‘Purple Blood’ Chapter 6 Applying for Graduation

In the middle of the elegant room of the Waltrip Hotel.

Linley, Yale, George, and Reynolds were sitting casually on either side of a long table, with a dozen or so exquisite dishes placed two by two in a row on the table, and a lot of fruit wines and spirits placed next to them. The four brothers were currently drinking fruit wine and talking about what had happened during this period of time.

“Linley, you should have gone to the Magical Beast Mountain Range last year after conducting the end of the year test, last year Dixie tested and finally reached level six magician while you didn’t take the test at all. Some people are saying that you’re not as good as Dixie anymore, it’s really …… just a few of us who know that you actually reached the sixth level magician realm a long time ago.”

Reno said unevenly.

Linley sipped a cup of fruit wine and smiled faintly.

Sixth level magician?

Ever since entering that rare state of being and carving out the work ‘Dream Awakening’, the ten days and ten nights of mental power ground growth had caused Linley’s mental power to increase tenfold in one breath. It caused Linley to jump directly from a rank six magus to a rank seven magus.

Calculating spiritual power alone, Linley’s spiritual power should still be in the upper echelon of seventh level magicians.

“Oldest four, it’s not like you don’t know Oldest three, he doesn’t care about this kind of thing at all. If he cared, then he wouldn’t fail to participate in every year’s grade competition.”

Yale said smilingly, “By the way, Old Three, when this semester first started, your Uncle Hillman came to school.”

Linley gave a start, looked at Yale, and immediately inquired, “Uncle Hillman, is there something wrong?”

In the past, Linley had gone back every year for New Year’s Eve, the only time Linley had spent the winter and spring in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

“It’s nothing, I guess I saw that you didn’t go back for New Year’s. Worried about something happening to you.”

Yale casually said, and then continued, “Right. There’s one thing I have to tell you, on the day your Uncle Hillman came, the Chief Curator of the Proulx Guildlands also came, for that stone sculpture of yours, the ‘Awakening Dream’.”

Linley let out a shocked gasp, “Chief Curator? How does he know about my stone sculpture ‘Dream Awakening’?”

At this time, Reno said in embarrassment, “This is all my fault, when Yale sent someone to transport your stone sculpture back from the back of the mountain, I thought that no one else knew how precious it was. So I put it in the dormitory. From time to time, you can still appreciate it. But I didn’t expect that Ostuni, who was looking for you, to find his way directly to our dormitory, and just happened to see your stone sculpture, ‘Dream Awakening’, and then it was he who told that Maiya curator about the existence of ‘Dream Awakening’.”

Linley nodded slightly.

“Linley, that chief curator still wants you to auction off this stone sculpture ‘Dream Awakening’? Even if he doesn’t auction it off, he still wants this ‘Dream Awakening’ to be put on display at the Proulx Guild Hall, do you promise?”

Yale looked at Linley.

Linley shook his head without the slightest hesitation.

“I don’t want the ‘Dream Awakening’ to be publicized for the time being, and I’m not short of money.”

For Linley, the ‘Dream Awakening’ represented a relationship of his. Of course after carving out the ‘Dream Awakening’. Linley’s state of mind changed.

Especially in the middle of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Experiencing the siege of the many dragons in the Misty Valley, being in the middle of the earth, seeing the two great super magical beasts fight each other, even to the point of almost dying, and especially swallowing the dragon’s blood and succeeding in becoming a dragonblood warrior.

Having experienced all of this. For Linley. That memory of Alice was already very distant.

Linley also understood. Cherishing the present was the most important thing.

“If my father knows that I can undergo ‘dragonization’, I’m sure he’ll be very happy.”

Linley thought of his father.

Hogg had been expecting his son to become a dragonblood warrior all his life. Little Walton’s dragonblood warrior bloodline had reached a sufficient concentration, and Linley was now able to dragonize. He had even reached the ability to enter the eighth level of the earth after dragonization.

If this news was told to Hogg, and both of his sons were able to become dragonblood warriors, Hogg would definitely be very excited and very proud of them.

Linley was also able to guess the value of the stone sculpture ‘Awakening Dream’, and he also understood that it would be absolutely unsafe to place such a large stone sculpture in Wushan Town. So Linley also asked Yale to help continue to keep the ‘Dream Awakening’ stone sculpture.

For the huge Dawson Chamber of Commerce, this was a breeze.

Walking out of the hotel, Linley’s four walked down the forest road.

“Boss Yale, Second, Fourth, there’s something I must tell you.”

Linley deliberated for a moment and spoke.

Seeing Linley look so serious, Yale, George, and Reno couldn’t help but focus their attention.

“I’m going to apply for graduation just in these few days.”

Linley said this with difficulty.

Graduation also meant leaving the Ernst Magic Academy, leaving these three good brothers of his own land. Linley had entered the Ernst Magic Academy from the year he was nine years old until he was seventeen now, which was a full eight years ago. The most simple eight years of his life had been spent making brothers, brothers without any utilitarian qualities, truly good brothers.

Linley couldn’t let go of his own brother.

But life in the world, after all, to do something out. Once he graduated, the noble title, fiefdom, army and so on will come. At that time, it would be the time for one’s own bold advancement.

“Graduation?”

Yale, George, and Reynolds were all shocked, and Yale was the first to react, saying, “Oldest three, why are you in a hurry to graduate, and what’s so good about graduating from Ernst College? Isn’t it good for us four brothers to be together? Moreover, Ernst College can be much calmer than outside.”

George and Reno also rushed to persuade.

Linley shook his head, “No, we can’t hide within the Ernst Academy and not have contact with the outside world.”

“Oldest, you’re only a rank six magician now, although a rank six magician is considered an expert outside. But there are still many stronger than you. Why don’t …… you cultivate to a seventh level magician, and then it’s not too late to graduate.”

George proposed.

In the eyes of George and the others, there were two big hurdles in magician cultivation, the biggest one was from a ninth level magician to the Holy Domain, while the second big hurdle was from a sixth level magician to a seventh level magician.

From level nine magician to holy domain, even if the spiritual power was enough, even if the magical power was very strong, even if one spent long years it was still difficult to break through. That required opportunity. The opportunity to instantly comprehend.

And going from a rank six magician to a rank seven magician usually required more than ten years of work even for talented people.

“I’ve already reached seventh level magician.”

Linley said directly.

“Seventh level magician?”

The Yale trio froze completely as if they had been struck by lightning. A genius like Dixie had only reached level six magician at the age of sixteen, and if they reached level seven magician, they were just being very hardworking, at the very least until they were around thirty.

And Linley ……

was only seventeen this year!

“Old Three, you said you reached a seventh level magician?”

Yale simply couldn’t believe it.

“Old Three, don’t swindle us.”

George refused to believe it either.

Reno, on the other hand, stared at Linley. Not a word was spoken.

“Squeak,” Bebe on Linley’s shoulder, on the other hand, barked unevenly and kept showing his teeth at the Yale trio, Linley fell back to hearing Bebe’s uneven voice: “Boss, these three brats actually don’t believe you. Boss, get a level seven magus to give them a taste.”

Linley glanced at Bebe, “Bebe, stop it.”

Bebe gave Linley a fake ‘aggrieved’ look and didn’t say anything.

“This Bebe, the acting ability is getting stronger and stronger.”

Linley secretly laughed in his heart before looking at his three good brothers, “Boss Yale. Don’t you guys not believe it. You guys will see it when I go apply for graduation tomorrow and take the test.”

Yale, George, and Reno all knew Linley’s character and knew that he wasn’t the type of person who would lie.

“Oldest, did you really reach it?”

George asked softly.

Linley nodded slightly, “Why don’t I show off my flying technique first.”

Linley began to recite a magic incantation while all three of Yale watched quietly from the sidelines. After a while air currents surrounded Linley’s body. At the same time Linley’s entire body levitated.

Linley’s levitation height wasn’t very high. It was roughly only twenty centimeters above the ground. If someone from afar didn’t look closely they wouldn’t even notice.

“This is a levitation technique.”

Reno said.

The floating technique was flying straight up and down.

“Look closely.”

Linley’s entire body suddenly flew diagonally towards the sky at breakneck speeds, flying for roughly a dozen meters before falling back down at breakneck speeds. But when it landed twenty centimeters above the ground, it stopped again. Maintaining that hovering state.

After maintaining this state for a few moments, Linley landed on the ground.

“A flying technique?”

The three Yale people were truly shocked.

The scene that Linley had performed was simple, but it was expressed very clearly. Being able to fly diagonally through the air that was definitely a ‘flying technique’.

“Hey Linley, long time no see, I didn’t expect to see you just now, and here you are performing jumping abilities.”

In the distance, a young man walked past with a smile, Linley’s movements just now did indeed fall into the category of a jumping maneuver when viewed from a distance.

For powerful warriors, jumping a dozen meters was not a problem.

Most of the people in the entire Ernst Academy knew that this genius Linley was not only a magician, but also a powerful warrior. Someone had once seen him easily lift a nearly 1,000-pound boulder from the back of the mountain to the dormitory.

Linley, Yale and the others also greeted the person, a friend from their next dormitory.

“Oldest, you’ve really reached seventh level magician, this, how is this possible? But I just now?”

George was the first to exclaim in a low voice.

“A seventeen year old rank seven magician, goodness, is there such a powerful genius in the history of our Yulan Continent?”

Reno also became excited.

Yale looked at Linley, his eyes glowing, “I, for one, am kind of looking forward to the gazes of those leaders of the academy who will be conducting the testing ground when Lao San graduates.” ……

The next morning, on an open field that was often used for testing magic in the grounds of the Ernst Magic Academy, more than thirty magic teachers were all gathered here. In reality, only four magicians were needed for the graduation test, but normally the teachers of the Ernst Magic Academy grounds didn’t have much to do, and when they heard that Linley was applying for graduation, they came over to join in the fun.

After all, the average student had reached the sixth level of magician and had studied for a while in the sixth year before applying for graduation, and in that case there was no need for a test at all. That was why graduation testing was still rare.

There were three dozen magic teachers, as well as three cadets, Yale, George, and Reynolds.

Among those three dozen magic teachers, there was also the Vice President of the academy, Delante, who had idly run over, and according to Delante’s words, “One of our academy’s two greatest geniuses is going to apply for graduation, so of course I’m going to take a look.”

“Linley, use the earth system magic ‘Ground Surge Lance Formation’, based on the size of the Ground Surge Lance as well as the range of the Ground Surge Lance Formation, we can determine your magic level.”

One of the magicians conducting the test spoke.

If you reached level six, it was naturally judged that you could graduate.

Linley shook his head slightly.

The group of onlooking magic teachers couldn’t help but be puzzled for a moment, and Vice Dean Delante even persuaded, “Linley, aren’t you applying for graduation, why?”

“I want to use wind magic.”

Linley said with a smile.

Vice Dean Delante and the others laughed, they all knew that Linley was of both the earth and wind systems, but the main thing that was detected when testing a magician’s strength was their spiritual power. Regardless of which lineage was detected, the strength of spiritual power could be determined just the same.

“Then you use it.”

Vice Dean Delante and the other thirty or so magic teachers looked at Linley with a smile.

Linley immediately silently recited the magic incantation for the seventh level magic ‘Flight Technique’, and when, after a moment of silence, air currents began to surround Linley, Linley’s entire person suddenly levitated, and then floated through the air flying with reckless abandon, sometimes swerving, sometimes swooping, and sometimes flying at breakneck speeds.

“Flying, flying magic?”

The thirty or so magic teachers froze, and they understood very well what level a flight spell was.

“A seventeen year old seventh level dual system magician, this ……”

Vice Dean Delante knew at once that the long calm Ernst Magic Academy was afraid that it would not be able to be calm for some time.
