The morning sun bathed the shores of Crystal Lake in a golden hue as Oasis awoke, feeling rejuvenated after his meditation.Stretching his limbs, he took a deep breath of the crisp morning air, the gentle rustle of leaves and the distant chirping of birds serving as a serene backdrop to the tranquil scene.As Oasis emerged from his meditation spot, Sir Elias greeted him with a warm smile. "Good morning, Oasis," he said, his voice carrying a note of cheerfulness. "I hope you slept well."Oasis nodded, returning Sir Elias's smile. "Yes, I feel refreshed," he replied, his eyes bright with energy.Sir Elias nodded in satisfaction, gesturing towards the campfire where breakfast awaited. "Well then, let's eat," he said, his tone inviting.As Oasis settled down to enjoy his meal, Sir Elias launched into an explanation about the next steps of his training. He spoke with a sense of purpose, his words laced with wisdom and guidance."Oasis, my boy," Sir Elias began, his voice carrying an air of
Sir Elias watched in awe as Oasis seamlessly executed each spell, his movements fluid and confident.The raw power and control displayed by Oasis were nothing short of extraordinary, a testament to his natural talent and relentless dedication.As Sir Elias observed Oasis's remarkable progress, a mixture of emotions washed over him.Pride swelled within him as he witnessed Oasis's mastery over the elemental magic, but alongside it, a sense of awe and apprehension took hold."He's surpassed the Zygote Stage; he's already at Embryo 4th layer," Sir Elias muttered to himself, his voice tinged with disbelief. "This boy is a monster.The intensity of Oasis's abilities left Sir Elias trembling with a potent blend of excitement and trepidation.As he felt the tremors coursing through his body, Sir Elias couldn't help but question the source of his agitation."Wow, I'm shaking. Am I scared or excited?" Sir Elias wondered silently, his thoughts racing as he struggled to comprehend the magnitude o
In his heart, Sir Elias felt a mix of pride and apprehension."This kid is a monster," he thought, still grappling with the reality of Oasis's unprecedented growth."Not only did he break through fast, but he can feel his mana heart even before reaching the Newborn stage. I've never heard of such a thing."Sir Elias knew that he was witnessing the emergence of a prodigy, someone who could potentially reshape the world of magic.The thought filled him with excitement and a touch of fear, as he realized the immense responsibility he had in guiding this extraordinary young man."Oasis, let me further explain the world of magic and cultivation," Sir Elias began."In this world, there are ordinary people who lack the capability or potential to harness magic and cultivate.""And then there are those who can do magic and cultivate. Among these people, there are mages, martial artists, and refiners."He continued, "First, mages like myself. I'm a mage, and we harness the mana within ourselves
The sun had climbed higher into the sky, casting sharp shadows and illuminating the vibrant greens and blues of the Crystal Lake surroundings.The tranquility of the lake contrasted sharply with the intense energy radiating from the two figures sparring on the shore.Oasis and Sir Elias stood facing each other, the air around them charged with anticipation. Oasis's muscles were taut, his eyes focused and determined. Sir Elias, calm yet alert, prepared himself for the first move."Ready, Oasis?" Sir Elias called out, his voice steady.With a swift motion, Sir Elias launched the first attack, his hand slicing through the air with a burst of wind magic. Oasis deftly dodged, his movements fluid and precise.He countered with a blast of water, the liquid forming sharp, needle-like projectiles aimed at Sir Elias.Sir Elias twisted his body, evading the water needles with grace. He retaliated with a powerful gust of wind, forcing Oasis to brace himself against the onslaught.The force of the
Days passed by at Crystal Lake, with Sir Elias and Oasis dedicating themselves to training day in and day out. They sparred tirelessly, pushing each other to new heights, until two months had elapsed."Lad, you have made a lot of progress, more than I could have imagined," Sir Elias praised Oasis one morning as they concluded their two-month sparring sessions, marking the end of their eight-month training period at Crystal Lake."And within these two months of sparring, you have already reached the fourth layer of the Foetal Stage. Truly, you are a genius."Sir Elias's words carried a tone of genuine admiration and pride as he acknowledged Oasis's remarkable development.The atmosphere of Crystal Lake seemed to echo his sentiments, with the gentle rustle of leaves and the soft murmurs of the nearby stream adding to the sense of tranquility.Oasis, though visibly fatigued from their rigorous training, couldn't help but feel a surge of satisfaction and accomplishment at Sir Elias's words
As the bloody battle concluded, the guard leader approached Sir Elias and Oasis, his eyes scanning them cautiously."I don't sense any ill intent from you," the guard leader stated, his tone measured. "I am Lancelot Bloodstone from the BlueMoon family. We are heading to the capital.""Elias Hawthorne from Riverbend, and this lad here is my disciple, Oasis," Sir Elias replied calmly.Lancelot's gaze shifted to Sir Elias, appraising him. "Oh, fascinating. Peak Tabula-Rasa stage," he remarked with a nod.Then, turning his attention to Oasis, his eyes widened in surprise. "What? This young kid is at the fourth layer of the Foetal stage? From the looks of it, he's only eight years old. Is he noble?"As this conversation unfolded, a young man inside the carriage was eavesdropping. His curiosity piqued, he stepped outside, his movements brisk.One of the guards immediately spoke up, concern evident in his voice. "Young master BlueMoon, please go inside."The young master ignored the guard's p
Sylvaneth, nestled within the heart of Verdantia, was a breathtaking city seamlessly integrated with nature.Towering treehouses, connected by intricate bridges and staircases, rose high above the ground, their wooden structures blending harmoniously with the ancient trees they were built upon.The lush greenery that enveloped the city seemed to pulse with life, a testament to the deep connection the people of Verdantia had with nature.As the carriage approached the city's gates, the grandeur of Sylvaneth became even more apparent.The city walls, constructed from massive stone blocks, were covered in vibrant moss and ivy, making them appear as natural extensions of the surrounding forest.These walls were not just for show; they were inscribed with powerful runes and defensive arrays, glowing faintly with protective magic.Guards, clad in green and brown armor that allowed them to blend into the foliage, stood vigilant at the entrance, their eyes sharp and watchful.In the distance,
Inside the inn, Oasis and Sir Elias found themselves in a grand suite, the likes of which they had never experienced before.The room was adorned with rich tapestries depicting Verdantia's history, and the furniture was carved from enchanted wood that seemed to pulse with a gentle, life-giving energy.Large windows offered a breathtaking view of the middle city, and in the distance, the glowing barrier of the inner city added an ethereal glow to the horizon."Rest, lad. I have to go and get you registered for the preliminary," Sir Elias said to Oasis, who was busy looking left and right in surprise."Okay, Master," Oasis responded."He just called me Master!" Sir Elias thought, a touch of pride swelling in his chest. Before he left, he gave Oasis one of the entry tokens of the inn. "See you soon. Don't wait for me," he said as he left the inn.Oasis continued to look out the window as the sun began to set, casting a warm, golden glow over the city. Below, people walked down the road,
