13: Chapter 13 Ernst Academy!
Central region of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Red Flame Valley.
"Bang!"
The ten-meter-plus Fire Lion slammed heavily onto the ground.
The flames surrounding its body dissipated, and it quickly lost all signs of life.
A large amount of blood gushed from its corpse, dyeing the nearby ground crimson red.
"Whew~"
Looking at the dead Fire Lion.
Allen put away the flowing flame longsword in his hand, his expression very calm.
Under normal circumstances.
A Fire Lion is only a Level 7 Demonic Beast.
Advancing to a Level 8 Demonic Beast is the limit for a Fire Lion.
Although this Fire Lion before him had broken through its racial limit to advance to a Level 9 Demonic Beast.
It was likely at the very bottom among Level 9 Demonic Beasts.
It was precisely because of this.
That Allen was able to slay the Fire Lion so easily.
Afterwards.
Allen quickly stepped forward and arrived beside the Fire Lion's corpse.
He swiftly extended his right hand, following the wound on the Fire Lion's head, and reached his hand into its skull.
Two breaths later.
Allen pulled his hand out.
In his palm, there was now a fist-sized red Demonic Beast core.
The Fire Lion's strength might have been at the bottom among Level 9 Demonic Beasts.
But this Fire Lion's core was a genuine Level 9 Demonic Beast core.
A Level 9 Demonic Beast core could often sell for over a million gold coins, and it was the type of item that was priceless and rarely available on the market.
Even though Allen was the eldest son of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, he would not ignore a Level 9 Demonic Beast core.
After putting the Demonic Beast core into his space ring.
Allen no longer paid attention to the Fire Lion's corpse and began to walk around inside Red Flame Valley.
His purpose for coming to Red Flame Valley was to use the external environment to increase his Cultivation speed.
Under these circumstances.
Allen naturally had to choose a place where the Fire Element was the most concentrated and active.
Time passed slowly.
Allen quickly figured out the situation in Red Flame Valley.
The Fire Element within Red Flame Valley was several times more active than outside.
The place where the Fire Element was most dense was on top of the giant rock where the Fire Lion had previously been lying.
Perhaps.
This was also the reason why the Fire Lion had been lying on the giant rock before Allen appeared.
"Let's give it a try."
Soon.
Allen jumped onto the giant rock.
He sat cross-legged and began to circulate the "Blazing Sun Battle Qi".
In the beginning.
When he first started Cultivating the "Blazing Sun Battle Qi".
Allen needed an hour to complete one cycle of the "Blazing Sun Battle Qi".
But now.
After several years of unremitting effort.
Allen's understanding of the "Blazing Sun Battle Qi" had long reached a terrifying level.
He only needed fifteen minutes.
To complete one cycle of the "Blazing Sun Battle Qi".
Time passed slowly.
In the blink of an eye.
Three days had passed.
Feeling the Battle Qi within his body suddenly increase by a significant amount.
Allen slowly opened his eyes and opened his System panel.
[heaven rewards diligence system]
[Name: Allen Dawson]
[Battle Qi Realm: Level 9 (12 / 100)]
[Physical Body Realm: Level 6 (39 / 100)]
[Cultivation Technique: "Blazing Sun Battle Qi"]
[Moves: Explosive Slash, Blazing Sun Strike...]
"Heh!"
"As expected!"
"My idea was correct!"
"The external environment also affects my Cultivation speed!"
"..."
Looking at the information on the light screen.
The corners of Allen's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.
As he became a Level 9 Warrior.
If he wanted to continue to become stronger, he needed to put in more effort.
When he was in Huayang City.
Allen needed to cycle the "Blazing Sun Battle Qi" one thousand times to increase his progress by 1 point.
But in Red Flame Valley.
Under the enhancement of the concentrated Fire Element.
Cycling the "Blazing Sun Battle Qi" three hundred times was enough to increase his progress by 1 point.
To a certain extent.
Red Flame Valley was Allen's Cultivation cheat code!
"Red Flame Valley is already this strong."
"If I could enter the elemental space in the Chaotic Territory..."
"Wouldn't my Cultivation speed just skyrocket?"
"..."
After dismissing the light screen before him.
Allen suddenly thought of something and muttered in a low voice.
In the original story.
After Linley founded his nation in the Chaotic Territory.
His soldiers were mining for magic crystal ores and discovered a special door.
The world behind the door was a small independent space.
In that independent space, the heaven and earth elements were incredibly active.
It was precisely by relying on that elemental space.
That Linley was able to better comprehend the Mysteries of the Laws, accelerating his path to godhood.
If Allen could also enter that place.
Relying on the heaven rewards diligence system.
Allen would definitely be able to drastically increase his own strength in a short period of time.
However.
As someone who had undergone Transmigration.
Allen knew very well in his heart that this was impossible.
Or rather.
At the current stage, Allen simply could not enter that elemental space.
Because that elemental space was a Cultivation site deliberately created by Beirut before he became a Highgod.
Only after reaching the Saint Realm could one offset the damage from entering the elemental space.
And Allen was only a Level 9 Warrior.
Even if Allen really found that door, he would have no way to enter it.
"Forget it."
"I should stop letting my imagination run wild."
"After I become a Saint, I'll find an opportunity to go see it then."
A while later.
Allen shook his head and cast those thoughts from his mind.
Afterwards.
Allen closed his eyes once again and began to circulate the "Blazing Sun Battle Qi".
...
Spring passed and autumn came.
Two cycles of winter and summer passed.
Early 9993 of the Yulan Calendar.
Ernst Institute, back mountain.
"Third brother."
"You really are here."
Looking at Linley, who was currently Cultivating.
A look of helplessness appeared on Yale's face.
Even with the operations of the upper echelons of the Ernst Institute.
He had still waited for two years before he could successfully enter the Ernst Institute to Cultivate.
And the "Third brother" he referred to was Yale's roommate, the protagonist of the Coiling Dragon World, Linley.
"Boss Yale."
"Is there something you need?"
Hearing Yale's voice.
Linley slowly turned around and asked curiously.
Linley still had a good impression of the boss of his dormitory.
Because although Yale was the young master of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, he never did anything to bully others by relying on his power.
Furthermore.
Although they had only been enrolled for about a month.
Yale had already helped Linley with several small favors.
Therefore, deep down, Linley truly acknowledged Yale as his boss.
"Hey!"
"What could there be?"
"I just saw that you've been Cultivating non-stop and was afraid you'd Cultivate yourself into a fool."
"So, I came to ask you if you want to go out for a stroll together?"
"..."
Yale walked to Linley's side and said with a smile.
Because of his older brother, Allen.
Yale had started coming into contact with Cultivation when he was six years old.
Before coming to the Ernst Institute.
He had even been supervised by his Family to work hard at Cultivating every day.
And now.
After arriving at the Ernst Institute.
Yale could finally be himself.
Even though he still took time to Cultivate, it was nowhere near as diligent as it used to be.
"Forget it."
"Boss Yale, you guys go ahead."
"I still want to continue Cultivating for a while, so I won't be joining you."
"..."
After knowing Yale's intention.
Linley did not hesitate at all and directly shook his head to refuse.
He knew his own situation best.
Linley was very clear about his Family's situation.
He only wanted to become strong as quickly as possible and restore the prestige of the Baruch Clan.
Go out and play?
Linley did not want to waste his time on such meaningless things.
