In a boundless space filled with endless chaos, there floated an extremely small floating island with a circumference of tens of meters. On this island, there was a seemingly ordinary thatched cottage.
In front of the thatched cottage, there was a short and thick cassia tree. Under the cassia tree, there was a stone table and a stone stool.
At this moment, the man sitting on the stone stool suddenly opened his eyes. A hint of a smile appeared on his face. "Another person with an uncertain fate has appeared in that plane. And these two people are so close to each other. What will happen in the future?"
"Between the two of you, will one of you be able to walk out of the universe and appear before me?"
His voice was filled with endless emotions and … anticipation.
"Very well, I'll give you two an extra stroke. Let's see how good your luck is!" The man lightly tapped his finger on the teacup on the table. With a flick of his finger, instantly …
A drop of tea transformed into a ray of light and flew into that part of the universe.
Time passed slowly. In the blink of an eye, six years had passed.
Qing Hu Town. This was an ordinary town in the Anarchic Lands of the Li Yulan continent. It got its name because it was adjacent to the enormous Qing Lake.
Early morning.
In the center of Qing Hu Town, there were three groups of children. They were divided into three groups, and each group was lined up in several rows. All of the children stood quietly in the open space, their faces solemn.
In this group of children, the northernmost group consisted of children between the ages of six and eight. The middle group consisted of children between the ages of nine and twelve. The southernmost group consisted of children between the ages of thirteen and sixteen.
In front of this large group of children, there were seven muscular middle-aged men wearing short sleeveless shirts.
"The Anarchic Lands are filled with endless battles. If you want to survive here, you must train hard from a young age!" The leader of the group, a middle-aged man, swept his gaze over the children like lightning.
This was the leader of the guards of Qing Hu Town, a warrior of the eighth rank, Austin. The six middle-aged men next to him were warriors of the seventh rank. They were also his subordinates.
"You are all the future hope of Qing Hu Town. According to our traditions, you must train from a young age using the most ancient, simplest, and most basic methods. Train your body and build up your strength. Only when you break through to become a warrior of the fourth rank through physical strength can you be taught a secret manual of fighting aura. Do you understand? "Austin's voice was cold.
Although Green Lake Town was small, it couldn't be underestimated. The reason why this town was able to maintain its independence in the Anarchic Lands and avoid being harassed by others, and even occupy an area like Green Lake, which was rich in water and fish, was largely due to the tradition of these guards.
Compared to the other towns and villages in the Anarchic Lands, Qing Hu Town's living environment was simply too good. Almost every household had fish and meat to eat every day, and everyone was healthy and strong.
It might be extremely difficult to cultivate to the level of a Rank 4 Warrior in other places, but in Qing Hu Town, where there was meat to eat every day, the difficulty was much lower.
Austin glanced at the group of children.
"Understood." The group of youths roared loudly.
"Very good. Let's begin!! "
Austin nodded coldly in satisfaction. It was not the first time he had said that. Moreover, there were no newcomers now, so there was no need to continue the nonsense that had been repeated many times.
Tap, tap, tap …
The sound of footsteps could be heard, and the three groups of youths began to move at the same time.
Their legs were about as wide as their shoulders, and their knees were slightly bent. Their hands were at their waists, and all of them stood steadily.
This was a movement similar to the horse stance. In the Yulan continent, it was known as the "Qi Building Stance".
The Qi Building Stance was the simplest and most effective way to train the body in this world. This was the result of countless years of experience.
"Remember, focus, calm your heart, and breathe naturally!" Austin walked amongst the group of youths and said coldly.
"Whap!"
Suddenly, Austin kicked one of the youths and said coldly, "Hmph, Sears, you are slacking off again. You can't even do basic training. In the future, when we encounter bandits, the first one to die will be you!"
"Pfft!"
Following Austin's kick, many of the nearby youths began to laugh.
"And you guys, what are you laughing at? Focus!!" Austin turned and roared. Instantly, all the laughter ceased, and the faces of the youths once again turned solemn.
Austin carefully walked past each of the youths, occasionally nodding, occasionally scolding them, and quickly correcting their mistakes.
Soon, Austin walked out from the group of the oldest youths and arrived at the group in the middle.
This was a group of eight to twelve year olds.
After arriving at this group, Austin began to scold them even more. After all, they had been training for too short a time, and they were young as well. It was hard for them to endure.
And then, Austin arrived at the group of even younger youths.
In this group, he didn't scold them as much. Most of the time, he was guiding and correcting the movements of the children.
Not long after, the six and seven-year-old children began to wobble on their feet. Everyone felt their legs ache, but they had no choice but to continue to endure. But they still couldn't endure for long. One by one, the children all sat down in exhaustion. In this group of children, only a golden-haired boy was still able to endure.
Austin's face was as cold as ever, but in his heart, he was completely stunned.
This golden-haired child hadn't just given him a pleasant surprise; he had given him a fright!
Because he was too powerful!
He was only six years old, but he was already a warrior of the sixth rank!
This sort of growth process didn't seem like the growth of a human at all. Instead, it seemed like the growth of a high-ranked magical beast. He was born extraordinary, and his growth was too fast.
Soon, some of the ten year old children in the middle couldn't take it anymore. One by one, they collapsed and sat down. But Austin's gaze remained fixed on the golden-haired boy.
"Captain, are you staring at Kahn again?" At this moment, a middle-aged man named Owen walked over and laughed.
"Yes … this child's talent is too astonishing. I'm afraid that our Qing Hu Town will soon have a Saint-level combatant who will surpass Lord Linley!" Austin said softly.
"Surpass Lord Linley? That was just a joke. Did you take it seriously? " Owen was somewhat puzzled. "Lord Linley is one of the Four Supreme Warriors, the Dragonblood Warrior. He is a truly peak-level combatant. Even the Radiant Church and the Cult of Shadows don't dare to offend him."
"Half a year from now, the founding ceremony of the Baruch Kingdom will be held." Austin continued. "Based on what I know, the Baruch Academy of Magic and Force will be opening at the same time. Let's let Kahn give it a try!"
"Six years old, sixth rank. Given Kahn's talent and power, how many magic and force academies in the entire continent would dare to accept him?" Owen was speechless.
Although those academies hoped to accept geniuses, they didn't dare to accept just anyone. Many of the teachers in those academies were only of the sixth or seventh rank. Would they dare to teach a warrior of the sixth rank? They weren't qualified to teach him!
"Qing Hu Town once produced a warrior of the ninth rank, and I'm about to break through as well. Unless a Saint-level combatant personally teaches me, I don't believe that there are many people who can be more powerful than me." Austin shook his head. "I'm not talking about warrior training."
"If it's not warrior training, then is it magic?" Owen rolled his eyes at Austin, speechless.
"Right, it's magic … why is Lord Linley so powerful? Is it simply because he is a Dragonblood Warrior? You must understand that in his human form, he hasn't reached the Saint-level yet. Compared to other Saint-level combatants, he doesn't have much of an advantage. Supposedly, when he battled against Haydson, he didn't have enough battle-qi and was nearly defeated. "Austin laughed.
In the past, countless people had watched the battle between Linley and Haydson. The details of that battle had spread throughout the continent long ago.
What shocked people wasn't Linley's power, but his talent. For him to be able to battle against Haydson at such a young age … what if he trained for a period of time? What shocked people was his magical prowess, and the fact that he had tamed two such terrifying magical beasts.
"To surpass Lord Linley, just relying on one's power as a warrior isn't enough. One has to make up for it in other ways. What if this kid, Kahn, has some extraordinary talent for magic? "Austin said softly.
"Don't keep thinking about surpassing Lord Linley. If word of this gets out, I'm afraid a large group of people will come after you!" Owen shook his head, not continuing to discuss this topic.
