Chapter 729: Growth
Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Under Zhang Cheng's tutelage, poor little Malfoy quickly mastered no less than ten low-level elemental magic with different attributes, including ice arrows, fireballs, rebounding qi walls, tremor shocks, stone falling techniques, and so on.
Although lethal is not lethal enough, it is definitely a dangerous element among his peers.
Of course, the price comes with countless scars all over the body, including not only burns, burns, frostbite, but also cuts and bruises.
Thanks to the fact that the magic treatment in this world has been very developed, there is no obvious scar left after the treatment, otherwise the Lucius couple would have died of distress.
You must know that Zhang Cheng is not the kind of teacher who advocates step-by-step seduction and slowly guides apprentices to avoid risks in an orderly manner, but a cruel Darwinist who advocates the survival of the fittest.
He has always had only one attitude towards his apprentices, and that is to survive and gain his own recognition through hard work.
As for what the process was like, how many trials and tribulations and dangers he had experienced, he didn't care at all, and he didn't care about the apprentice's dangerous attempts in private.
But Draco's situation was a little special, and he couldn't really watch the other party die, so Zhang Cheng chose to double the intensity of his training while ensuring his life.
At first, the pampered boy couldn't stand the devilish training at all, crying and screaming for help from his parents.
But he soon discovers that not only can't reach his parents' ears for help, but even the ubiquitous house-elves can't hear it, so he has to stimulate his subconscious survival instinct and keep practicing, practicing, and practicing again and again as required, until he runs out of magic and faints to the ground.
Through brutal training day after day, little Malfoy soon found himself becoming more proficient in magic, with more control and power, and even several new spells to use.
On a few occasions, he even defeated powerful illusion opponents created by magic, something that he would have never dared to think of before.
As the saying goes, some people are addicted to online games not because of how good the game itself is, but because they get a sense of satisfaction from games that they will never get in the real world.
After all, in the game, every time a player kills a monster and completes a mission, he can get real experience points, money, and equipment rewards, and as the level increases, the game character will also gain more power.
But what about in real life?
Whether it is study or work, or love life, it is not always possible to get feedback for paying, or the feedback is not obvious, and it is not proportional to the hard work and sweat of paying.
There are also times when you have to wait years, decades, or even decades before you see a return.
But now, in just two weeks, Draco has clearly felt the rewards of his hard work, and naturally he will no longer reject practice, but like a bear child who is heavily addicted to games, he completes all his training projects on time every day until he falls into a coma due to physical exhaustion.
This drastic change in personality not only surprised Lucius and his wife, but even Zhang Cheng couldn't help but look sideways.
However, as the countdown to the last few days of the summer vacation came, Zhang Cheng finally ordered the suspension of all training subjects, and stared at the boy standing not far away, his two eyes bursting with fanatical adoration.
It was a full minute before he spoke, "Draco, I have to admit that you've been a bit out of your way lately, so much so that I'm starting to have some expectations for your future. But you have to remember that this expectation is not necessarily a good thing for you, because if one day you disappoint me, I will not hesitate to ruin you. I will not allow my apprentices to become waste, much less to do nothing. ”
"Don't worry, teacher, I won't let you down. Little Malfoy stroked his chest with one hand and performed a standard aristocratic salute.
"Very good! Now go buy the supplies you need to start school, and I'll need to talk to your father next." With that, Zhang Cheng waved his hand lightly, signaling that the boy could leave.
Draco saluted again, turned to exchange glances with his father, who was waiting outside the door, and quickly disappeared into the hallway.
Seeing his son's resolute and upright back, Lucius had a relieved expression on his face, and then walked into the room and closed the door with his backhand, smiling and sighing, "Inviting you to teach Draco may be the most correct decision I've ever made in my life." Looking at the way he is now, I can be sure that the Malfoy family will carry forward 100% in his hands. ”
"It's nothing, this is originally my job, isn't it?" Zhang Cheng spread his hands disapprerovingly.
"Hahahaha! But I still want to express a little gratitude. It's a key to the Gringotts vault, and I've kept a large amount of gold and galleons in it, so you can access it at any time. Lucius said as he pulled out the key from his pocket and placed it on his desk.
As an ancient aristocrat with a long history, Malfoy had a huge wealth in his hands that ordinary wizards could not even imagine, so he was not spending a large sum of money to curry favor with the young man of mysterious origin in front of him.
"Do you think I'll care about these boring precious metal currencies? No, dear Lucius, I can make gold that can collapse the entire world's financial system at any time, if I want to, like this......"
As the last word blurted out, Zhang Cheng lightly clicked on the table.
Airplanes!
After a strange tremor, the desk, which had been made of the finest hardwood, turned into gold that reflected a dazzling glow in the sunlight.
Because the whole process happened so quickly and suddenly, Lucius didn't even notice the resonance that the alchemy stone had when it was transformed into matter.
He just touched the cold-touch desktop with his trembling hand, and immediately couldn't help but exclaim: "Merlin is on top! It's really pure gold......! How did you do that? As far as I know, even the most famous alchemist, Nicol Lemay, could not do that. At most, he can convert a portion of mercury into gold with the Philosopher's Stone. ”
"Just because he can't do it doesn't mean I can't. Don't forget, alchemy is a magical power, and I know much more about it than Nicol Lemay. So don't try to buy me with money, I'm not someone who can be bought with money. In addition, here is a list of materials, please help me procure it, and I will pay you enough gold. ”
After that, Zhang Cheng turned the two bookshelves next to him into shiny pure gold, and gently patted each other's shoulders when he passed by Lucius.
It doesn't take to know that he is finally going to try to use the authority of the Creator to create living beings with independent consciousness......
