"Master, may I ask you for the reason you asked me to come?" Dick asked politely.

Dean Salneo sat behind a large desk made of nanmu, wearing a crystal-made monochrome lens on his right eye, and the old magician was reading a document on the table with the help of the lens.

Hearing Dick's voice, the old magician looked up from the file, and he smiled, "I'm very sorry, my child, for disturbing your class time, it's because I have something to inform you. He stroked his gray beard as he spoke, "But don't worry, because the people haven't arrived yet." Now sit down. ”

“haode。 Dick said and chose a chair and sat down. Arya and Flender sat next to him, both nodding slightly to him.

After waiting for a while, there was a knock at the door. "Please come in. Salneo said.

The door opened, and an academy instructor walked in with a cadet, "Hello Dean. The student greeted Salneo, and the mentor exited the office.

This student Dick also knows Texas Inge, the opponent of Flender in the sixth round of the academy big competition three months ago. Counting himself, the top four of the college competition three months ago were gathered in the dean's office at this moment, so Dick also had some guesses in his heart about what the dean was going to say.

"Alright, children, since you're all here, then I, the old man, won't talk nonsense. Dean Salneo said, stroking his gray beard.

"There are many hundred races in the Karimodan Continent, many of which are the mortal enemies of our human race, such as the demon race, the beast race, the undead race, the kraken race, etc., since the beginning of history, the war between the human race and the alien race has never stopped. You are all the best of the younger generation, and the responsibility of fighting against the alien race and protecting our human race will fall to you sooner or later. ”

"Look at it. The old magician handed the document in his hand to the four of them, "In order to hone the strong of the younger generation, the three major empires of the human race will jointly hold a competition between the younger generation every five years. The tournament is held in the Great Plains of Grells, where the three empires meet, so the tournament is also known as the Grells Survival Tournament, and those who excel in the tournament will be rewarded and reused by their respective countries. ”

"Dean, we've all heard a little bit of this, but isn't the age limit for the Grells Survival Tournament between twenty and thirty?" Arya asked with a puzzled face, "but the oldest of us is eighteen," she said, looking at Dick involuntarily, "and the youngest is only fifteen or sixteen years old. ”

"That's exactly what I'm trying to say, just look at the document. The old magician pointed to the document that was in Texa's hand, but there was only one document, and there were four people waiting to read it, so in order to save time, Salneo had to explain again, "As it is written, two months ago, representatives of the three empires met in the capital of our Miro Empire, Mirrok City, and made some changes to the rules of the Grells Survival Match. Allowing the major academies to send their own representatives to participate in the competition, of course, this does not require you to win the competition, after all, you are facing opponents who are much older than you, and it is not important for you to hone and win or lose. ”

The four of them circulated the documents one after another, and sure enough, they were exactly what the old magician said.

"And in more than half a month, it's the new Grells Survival Tournament, and the academy is ready to send the four of you to participate in the competition. The old magician said with a smile.

"Really, Dean, I've been wanting to see the Grells Survival Race for a long time. Texas said excitedly. The others had eager expressions on their faces, but Dick sat in his chair as if he was thinking about something.

"Children, remember, prepare well for more than half a month, you are the pride of the academy, you must perform well in the survival game, you know, even the monarchs of various countries value this game very much. Salneo said, "Okay, if there's nothing else to do, let's go back to class." ”

The four of them got up to say goodbye to the dean, and then they all walked out of the dean's office and walked to the classrooms where they had been taught.

"Dick, what's wrong with you?" Arya asked aloud when she saw that Dick seemed to be still distracted.

"Nothing, just thinking about the Grells Survival Match. Dick replied.

"Hehe......" Arya said with a smile, "The competition hasn't started yet, and our academy is starting to worry about the first place in the competition?"

"It's not worrying, it's thinking about how to win. Dick replied calmly.

Arya exclaimed, "No, you're only sixteen years old at most, and you want to win over all the young masters in the continent!"

"Hehe, it's just a fantasy, who knows. Dick said, at this time, there was a fork in the corridor in front of him, and Arya and Dick's classrooms were in different directions, so the two didn't say anything more, and each walked to the corridor where their classrooms were located.

"Boy, do you really want to win that tournament?" said Dimihera at some point.

"You don't know that I want to borrow the Liliang of the Miro Empire to take revenge on the enemies of the Faen Empire. But now I'm just a little viscount, and no matter how good I do in my own territory, I can't affect the upper echelons of the Miró Empire," Dick replied in his heart, "But if I win the Grells Survival Match, it will be different, I will be named a 'genius', become a celebrity in the whole continent, and become the object of the Miró royal family's great desire to woo me." When the time comes, rewards and co-ordination will be inevitable. ”

Dick continued, "If it was before, I might have some scruples, excessive showmanship might have exposed my identity, but now that my identity has been exposed, my uncle even did not hesitate to send an assassin of the dragon knight rank to kill me, for me now, it may be safer to become a celebrity in the whole continent, because it is impossible for the Faun Empire to kill a person who focuses on the eyes of all parties in the whole continent." ”

"So, you're going to do it, it sounds like it's going to be a tough one. Demichra asked with interest.

"Old rules, don't you have more than half a month to prepare? During this time, you are not allowed to absorb my fighting spirit and magic power. Will pay it back to you later. Dick said lightly.

"You don't have to pay it back. Dimichra spoke suddenly.

"What?" Dick almost wondered if he had misheard, that this greedy demon was willing to do him a free favor, and that it had eaten too much vindictiveness and magic and had broken its brain?

Di Mihra said slowly: "You have shared more than 20% of my magic power and fighting spirit in the past two months, so I will return the bento to you, and you don't need to give more in the future." ”

Looking at Dick's stunned appearance, it said, "Do you think that all demons must be insatiable and unscrupulous?"

Dick nodded unceremoniously.

"Human beings have human rules, and demons also have demonic laws," Di Mihra said lightly, "You gave me two percent more magic and fighting spirit because I reminded you to abide by your own principles, and I am helping you for free now because I abide by my own principles." ”

Dick was silent.

Dimihra continued, "The reason why the lower demons are called 'mean, cunning, and unscrupulous' by you humans is completely forced by the harsh living environment of the demon world, and the higher demons have their own principles. ”

After standing there for a long time, Dick finally couldn't help but say, "Dimihera, I really like you demon more and more!"

"Boy, come less!" Dimihera's unceremonious voice echoed in Dick's head.

While Dick was talking to Demichra, he unconsciously arrived at the door of the classroom. Dick knocked on the door, and the conversation between the two ended.

In the next half month or so, Dick put aside everything else and devoted himself to cultivation, and even rarely went to the college's big library. and spent a lot of money to order a batch of divine charity potions from the Thorn of Shadow,

As for the magic array that assists in cultivation, Dick had already dug up all the gems and rare metals from the magic array in his room when he left Oriel City, and the first thing he did when he returned to the academy was undoubtedly to invite Ellie and the others to dinner, and the second thing was to immediately arrange a magic array in his dormitory.

The accumulation of more than two months of magic power and fighting spirit has already made Dick very close to the realm of magicians and warriors, therefore, on the eighth day of concentrating on cultivation, Dick became a first-level magician, and on the ninth day, Dick's fighting spirit also broke through to the realm of warriors.

But Dick did not relax his cultivation because of this, on the contrary, he knew very well that he had reached the realm of warrior and magician, and he had only just become qualified to compete with those "old men" in their twenties.

The sword skills taught in the academy, and the demon clan fighting skills taught by Dimichra.

The space-time magic taught in the Academy, and the dark magic taught by Professor Demihera.

Dick learns and comprehends all of this with all his heart, and tries to merge it together......

Time is like a fine sand between your fingers, and it is lost before you know it.

More than half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and the top four of the academy were summoned to Dean Salneo again. Only this time it was not in the dean's office, but in front of the large square at the entrance of the college.

Salneo looked at the four young people standing in front of him with a smile, and said kindly: "My children, today is the day when the Grells Survival Tournament begins, you must have trained yourself well in the past half a month, can you tell me your current level?"

"Arya Phil"

Arya smiled and said, "Lord Dean, I'm already a first-level magician now. ”

"Texas Inge"

"Lord Dean, I'm sorry, I haven't improved my fighting spirit compared to more than three months ago, and I'm still a ninth-level trainee warrior. Texas said ashamedly.

"Don't be discouraged, kid, that's where you'll be sooner or later. The old magician whispered comfortingly, and then asked the next person, "Flender Joseph, can you tell me what level you have reached?"

"Lord Dean, I'm now a ninth-level magic apprentice and apprentice warrior," Flender said proudly.

"And what about you, the winner of the House Competition, Dick Hill?" asked the old magician, rubbing his gray beard.

"Lord Dean, my current cultivation is a second-level mage and warrior. Dick said lightly.

Sarneo's right hand on his beard suddenly stiffened, and the shock in his heart was even more indescribable. With his eyesight, he could naturally see that above the academy competition more than three months ago, Dick's magic power and fighting spirit level were only a sixth-level magic apprentice and trainee warrior, and the reason why he was able to defeat an opponent with a higher level than himself was due to the dual cultivation of magic and martial arts and excellent combat skills. And now it's only been more than three months, and he has already reached the level of a second-level magician and warrior! Such a cultivation speed can only be described by the word terrifying.

Several of the other cadets were equally shocked to hear Dick's words, especially Alia and Flender, who had fought him more than three months earlier.

Arya covered her slightly open red lips with her hand, and couldn't help but think of the joke that Dick said more than half a month ago about winning the Grells Survival Race, at least at that time, Arya really thought it was a joke, but now...... The young man in front of him, who is younger than himself, seems to really have the strength to realize that joke.

Flender's jaw was about to drop to the ground, Dick had beaten him in the final more than three months ago, which included some surprises, and now as his strength rose another level, he was convinced that if the college competition did it again, neither Dick nor that Prince McFarlane would be his opponent. After all, Macfarlane's original strength was only a ninth-level trainee warrior and an eighth-level magic apprentice, and the result of Dick's battle with him was almost a defeat. But now Dick's cultivation speed has deeply hit his self-confidence.

It was Dean Salneo who reacted first from shock, "Kid, you are really the pride of our academy, it seems that this Grells Survival Tournament is more than just a training for you. Now, let's head to the Plains of Grills. ”

Texas asked suspiciously, "Lord Dean, are we just going to walk to the Grells Plains?"

Salneo smiled and shook his head, "Of course not, my child, don't forget, what is the quickest way to get between magicians. ”

"The fastest way to get between magicians?" The other three were all confused, only Dick had a smile on the corner of his mouth, the fastest way to get between magicians was, of course, to teleport the magic array.

Sure enough, Salneo stretched out his hands, and pale blue magic flowed from his fingertips, pouring down to the ground like streams of pale blue water.

With the rhythm between the ten fingers of the old magician's hands, the light blue magic gradually outlined a magical magic symbol on the ground, and the magic symbols were connected by light blue lines, forming a complex and profound magic array.

Dick's eyes stared at the magic circle above the ground, trying to remember every detail. Because this spatial teleportation circle is a magic array in his own domain, as long as the strength is enough, or there are suitable materials, he can also use it, and it will be easier than the dean's use.

Because Salneo is not a space magician, but the magic symbols that make up the magic circle contain symbols with magic power transformation, so he can arrange this magic circle. But this will undoubtedly consume a lot of mana in vain.

With the magic circle successfully set up, Salneo withdrew his hands: "Children, please embark on a journey. ”
