After dinner.
Dongbo Xue Ying, Qing Shi and Zong Ling were gathered together. Dongbo Xue Ying took out a watermelon sized crystal ball from his bag. This was also left behind by his mother.
"Brother, what is this? It's so beautiful." Qing Shi was pretty and cute. If Dongbo Xue Ying's appearance was more like his father's, then his brother's appearance was more like his mother's. One look and you could tell that he would be a handsome young man in the future. And Dongbo Xue Ying couldn't be compared to his brother's handsomeness.
"Come, Shi, put your hand on it." Dongbo Xue Ying said.
"Okay." Qing Shi obediently put his hand on the crystal ball.
When his palm touched the crystal ball, the spiritual energy within his body naturally caused a reaction within the crystal ball. The crystal ball immediately emitted a faint red light. The light filled the entire room.
Dongbo Xue Ying and the others all revealed a joyful expression.
"Brother, why is there light?" Qing Shi asked curiously.
"Great Mage, come, give me a kiss." Dongbo Xue Ying hugged his brother and kissed him happily.
Mages and Knights were different.
Knights needed to start training from a young age. For example, the Eternal Wind Academy set the minimum age limit to ten! But mages were the opposite … … They couldn't train at a young age. Those with good family backgrounds would usually start training at ten. Some would even start training at sixteen, seventeen, or even twenty years old. The minimum age for Eternal Wind Academy to recruit mages was thirty years old.
Before thirty years old, one could enter the academy.
Because mages had a high requirement of thinking. Especially when training involved the soul. If one was too young and messed around, one's soul might be damaged and turn into an idiot! The older one was, the more experience one would have. With the accumulation of time, one could start training at forty or fifty years old and eventually become a Transcendent.
*****
Time passed day by day.
In the blink of an eye, five years had passed.
"Huhuhu ~ ~ ~" Snow as thick as goose feathers fluttered.
A young man wearing a black shirt was standing in front of the railing looking at the snowflakes. His face was as if it was carved by a knife. Years of training gave him an aura that made people's hearts palpitate. This was the aura of a spear expert.
"Brother."
A boy wearing a thick shirt shouted from afar.
"Qing Shi." Dongbo Xue Ying smiled and leaped down from a height of six meters, landing on the snowy ground below. Now that his little brother had grown up, Dongbo Xue Ying had also changed the way he addressed his little brother. He called his little brother by his real name, 'Qing Shi', instead of his childhood nickname, 'Stone'.
"Brother, let's go to Water Rites Town to play. There are a lot of fun places in Water Rites Town. It's boring to stay at home." Dongbo Qing Shi said excitedly.
"Let Uncle Zong accompany you." Dongbo Xue Ying smiled.
"You're always in the Snow Eagle territory and rarely go to the city. Aren't you bored?" Dongbo Qing Shi muttered.
Dongbo Xue Ying smiled and did not say anything.
The younger brother didn't have much of an impression of his parents anymore. He didn't even remember the night his parents were kidnapped. He lived a carefree life.
"I'm going to practice my fist technique for a while." Dongbo Xue Ying said. At the same time, he took off his shirt and revealed his upper body. It was not obvious when he was wearing clothes, but when he took it off, he could feel his strong body. It was obvious that the many years of training had made his body extremely strong.
After saying that, Dongbo Xue Ying stepped on the snow and started to practice the 《Three Stage Flame Technique》. This was a Dou Qi technique and also a fist technique.
The snowflakes fell on Dongbo Xue Ying's skin. With every move, he could feel his surroundings more clearly.
"You take your time, I'm going to play." Qing Shi dashed away.
Dongbo Xue Ying continued to practice his fist technique in the snow. Every move seemed slow, but the power in his body flowed like water.
At the age of thirteen, his spear technique had already reached the level of 'One with the Spear'.
But this was still not enough … … He still needed to have all the power in his body as one. He needed to be able to control every strand of power with extreme precision. Only then would he be qualified to be called a 'Spear Grandmaster'. Only then would he be able to master the first stage of 《Mystic Ice Spear Technique》, Floating Snow!
He had been practicing his fist technique for the past two years to comprehend his body. He wanted to find that spark of inspiration in his body as one.
"Soon."
Dongbo Xue Ying had already faintly touched the threshold of having all the power in his body as one.
From the age of six until now, when he was fifteen, he had practiced the spear for almost ten years! His level of hard work was probably more than a normal person's twenty to thirty years of training.
"There's no need to worry about my spear technique. But why haven't I produced any Dou Qi until now?" Dongbo Xue Ying picked up a spear beside him and started to practice his spear technique. The spear and Dongbo Xue Ying seemed to have become one. The spear was like a dragon, surging forward. When the spear pierced out, countless spear shadows shrouded the area. The spear swept out with an unstoppable force.
According to his estimation, he should have produced Dou Qi at the age of ten! He should have become an Earth Knight by the age of fifteen.
But in reality?
He was unable to produce Dou Qi to become a Knight.
Dongbo Xue Ying, Zong Ling, and Tong San were not disappointed. Instead, they felt that it was strange!
Because the principle of Dou Qi was to absorb the energy of Heaven and Earth to nourish the body. When the body reached a certain limit, the body would no longer be able to absorb any more energy. The energy would then be converted into Dou Qi!
When Dongbo Xue Ying was ten years old, his physical strength had already exceeded the limits of an ordinary person. In the following five years, his body continued to grow stronger … Because he had been absorbing the energy of Heaven and Earth, he was unable to produce Dou Qi.
"What's the reason?"
"My current body is more than ten times stronger than an ordinary person, but I'm still absorbing the energy of Heaven and Earth."
Dongbo Xue Ying was puzzled.
Zong Ling and the rest who were experienced and knowledgeable could not understand the reason behind this situation.
"Bang!"
The spear suddenly struck the ground, smashing into the stone slabs beneath the snow. Then, it rebounded and pierced forward with a terrifying whistling sound.
Dongbo Xue Ying, who was in the middle of practicing his spear technique, suddenly felt an itch in the deepest part of his body.
"Hm?" Dongbo Xue Ying hurriedly kept his spear. Every single bone in his body was itching, and every single muscle in his body was itching. This itch was unbearable even with his endurance. Following that, every single part of his body began to heat up, as though he was being burned. His bones felt as though they were being incinerated, and his skin began to turn red. His skin began to toughen, and a layer of tendons began to form beneath his skin.
On Dongbo Xue Ying's bare upper body, a blood-red aura could be vaguely seen rising up, forming the vague shape of a towering giant.
In a daze, Dongbo Xue Ying 'saw' a barefooted giant dressed in beast skin roaring with his head raised high on the desolate land.
Following that, the blood-red aura dissipated.
But the changes within Dongbo Xue Ying's body became even more intense.
"Ah!"
Dongbo Xue Ying could no longer suppress the pain. He knelt on the ground and supported himself with both hands. The scorching aura emitted from his body caused the surrounding snow to melt.
