The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 42

The mountain behind the Ernst Institute, a place of tranquility.

Linley sat cross-legged next to the flowing water. Listening to the murmuring of the water, he naturally entered a trance of meditation, and all of the earth essence and wind essence nearby immediately began to shine. Everything within ten or so meters around Linley became very clear to see.

The essence of the earth and wind entered his body through his four limbs, as his flesh, bones, and organs slowly absorbed the nourishment of the essence. Slowly but firmly, the strength of his body continued to rise.

Moreover, most of the essence of wind and earth, after refining, rested with a 'central dantian' in the middle of his chest.

“Splash, splash. ”Flowing water murmuring non-stop.

Next to him, the little Shadowmouse, 'Bebe', was chewing on a wild duck. The scene was peaceful like a painting, as if it was coming out of a painting.

But while here it was quiet, the Ernst Institute was very noisier. All the thousands of students, as well as many magi, and even many important people from the outside world were all at the Ernst Institute, watching the various battles.

Annual tournament.

All the students of the Ernst Institute were heaven-blessed talents who were arrogant!

Every battle is incredible to see. Among the first grade students, earth balls, flashes of lightning, and blades of wind flew to and fro. But the battles of the third and fourth grade students were truly shocking. A variety of spell supports and spell effect areas are used. Spells like 'Destroyed Rock' now caused dozens, close to a hundred, of huge stones to impinge on the heads of the opponents, and lightning forked without stopping.

And fifth and sixth graders? That's a lot more horrible.

All sorts of shocking spells continued to flash by, filling the compound with endless sounds of explosions. The students watching all exclaimed nonstop, as his energy reached its peak. Almost everyone at the Institute is here.

…… .

The annual tournament lasted for a little over a month, which was naturally the wildest, rowdiest month of the year at the Ernst Institute. During this frenetic period, Linley would only occasionally watch the battles of fifth and sixth grade students. Throughout the rest of his time, he would secretly train on his own.

“This tournament actually requires one to accidentally try and kill his opponent. How can this kind of competition be considered a real competition, when one's hands and feet are tied? "

Under the influence of Doehring Cowart, Linley also began to look at the competition with contempt.

"Linley, your current task is to train hard and build your strength. As far as combat experience goes, when you become a magus of the fifth rank, you must enter the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts and enter a series of genuine life and death experiences. "Doehring Cowart persuaded Linley.

…… .

Huadeli Hotel, the most expensive hotel and restaurant in Ernst Institute. Tonight, Yale hosted four brooch dorms in 1987 for a sumptuous meal at the Huadeli Hotel.

On the first floor of the Huadeli hotel.

Hotel floors are slippery like mirrors. A row of beautiful maids stood there politely, ready to answer for a moment.

There were many men and women wearing student clothes at the Huadeli Hotel. Those who can afford this place in general are those who have a strong economic background. A typical dining table might cost several dozen gold coins. If Linley had come alone, he would definitely not have been able to afford it.

The annual tournament had just ended, and all the students in the hotel were discussing it. Most of the people here were young people, but one table was filled with four children.

“I'm annoyed just thinking about the competition this year. Very close! I almost entered the semifinals. Maybe I can get into the top three. “Reynolds was very dissatisfied. Reynolds is the youngest of the four, and also the proudest among them.

Yale laughs. “Truly embarrassing. I don't expect Rand [Lan'de] to be number one in the end. ”

George laughed but did not speak.

George was a friendly man and hardly offended anyone.

"Rand? Right I've heard you guys talk about it before. He was one of the new students who had an incredible elemental affinity and spiritual essence, right? "Linley remembered the name 'Rand'.

George laughed and nodded. "Really, he. He has very high talent. Even before training, his spiritual essence had reached the magus level of the second rank. All he did this year was gather enough mageforce. It wasn't too difficult for someone with magus power of the second rank to be number one in the tournament among first grade students. ”

“Depend on his own talent? When it comes to talent, can he compare it to our Institute's number one genius, Dixie? ”Yale pursed her lips. "I looked down on Rand. He won the first class tournament, so what. Linley, you don't see how satisfied he looks at winning. I really can't imagine how he would look if he actually won a fifth or sixth class tournament in the future. ”

The stronger the magus, the harder it is to develop further.

This was why most of the students at the Ernst Institute were high-level magi. The higher the value, the fiercer the competition was.

Reynolds nodded as well. “I don't like him either. Our school's number one genius, third grader Dixie, won the third-rate tournament. Look how calm he is! The difference between the two is too great. What's more, the strongest among us first graders is not Rand. ”

Based on age and seniority, the four of them started calling each other as 'second friend', 'third friend', and so on.

"Hey, what are you saying?"

Linley and Yale looked over. Four young men in the same hotel descended from the second floor. Their leader, a golden-haired youth, looked at Linley's group coldly.

Yale said out loud, “Oh, so that's Rand. What, don't you hear what we're saying? "

Linley could not help but laugh helplessly at himself.

Yale was not afraid of heaven or hell, and cared deeply about faces.

"Hmph, don't think I didn't hear" Rand said coldly.

The brown-haired young man next to Rand also sneered. He arrogantly said, "Rand, don't argue with these four useless things. It's not worth your time. Reynolds, what do you think you saw? What, you are not satisfied with your defeat in the tournament? ”

Reynolds looked at the brunettes young man, his mouth curled in disdain. “And who do you think you are? You just got lucky and hit me once. Why so arrogant? "

The brown-haired young man's face turned cold.

George smiled at everyone. "Rand, enough. It was wrong of us to discuss you casually. Let's just forget it. ”

“Shut your mouth, George. It's none of your business. "Rand looked at Yale. “Yale, the last time I saw you at Fragrant Elm bar, your haughty attitude pissed me off. And now, this time, you dare to be so arrogant in front of me. If you have the ability, come and fight me. Why don't you have the guts to fight? ”

After speaking, Rand deliberately laughed mockingly several times.

Although Yale was a bit angry, he knew that he was not as strong as the opponent.

Soon, many views from across the hotel focused on this quarrel. Many high-level students from the Ernst Institute stood up and looked at the two parties with curiosity. Clearly, both sides were only ten years old.

“I know that golden-haired boy. Name's Rand. He won an annual tournament among first-class students. I hope that in the future, he will have some achievements. ”

“The brown-haired boy next to him is called Rickson [Rui'sen]. He was number three among first-graders. I know him . In terms of strength, Rand's party was stronger than their opponents. This must be fun. ”

The group of magi of the fifth and sixth rank all chatted and laughed, watching the two sides.

Seeing others watching him, and hearing them praising him as the winner of a first-rate tournament, Rand's face became even more arrogant, and she saw Linley and the others were even more enterprising.

"Hmphs. "Rand glanced at the table where Linley and the others were sitting. "Juice? You guys still drinking juice? Oh, Yale, I'm really embarrassed for you. The four brooches in my dorm all drank the victory wine. You guys drinking juice? ”

Seeing how Rand was going on endlessly, Linley could not help but start frowning.

“Rand, the four of us ate here. Come out. "Linley's face sank, and he stared coldly at the four of them.

If he practiced and was bullied by beasts, he would immediately kill them.

"Oh, and this one. "Rand's eyes shone as he looked at Linley. "Why did I never know that in Yale dorm, there was someone like you?"

Linleys gaze turned cold.

Like a wild rabbit, he darted forward at an incredible speed. Rand's eyes only have time to widen. "You-you!" Before he could even react, Linley grabbed Rand and, based only on physical strength, lifted her into the air.

"Wha, uh, uh .." Rand couldn't make a sound out of her throat, and her eyes were filled with fear.

Linley stared coldly at Rand. Rand, a heart filled with fear, felt as if she would be killed at any moment.

At this moment, Linley felt the Dragonblood in his veins begin to flare up, as his bloodthirsty nature began to awaken. Linley could not help but frown as he tried to calm down. “This is Ernst Institute. I can't kill someone for no reason. ”

The three students next to Rand were all dumbfounded and frightened as well.

"fucking off!"

With a wave of his hand, Linley slammed Rand onto the floor, as if she was nothing more than a beanbag.
