Immortality begins by swallowing the stars

Chapter 42 The Cardinal Archbishop

In one of the courtyards of the dormitory area of ​​Ernst Academy of Magic.

"You want to leave the hospital to live?"

A curly-haired boy looked at Lu Jing, who was a head lower than him, in surprise: "But the academy prohibits low-level students from living outside the academy."

The other two taller teenagers also looked at Lu Jing in shock.

The three teenagers are Lu Jing's roommates. Some are from the Holy Alliance, some are from the O'Brien Empire, and even some are from the Eighteen Principalities of the Northern Territory. They are basically from noble or wealthy families, and they all get along with Lu Jing. good.

"Could it be...have you reached the fourth level of magician?" A slightly fat boy suddenly asked.

Ernst Academy of Magic has always had strict management of low-level magicians. In addition, the academy covers a large area and various places such as restaurants, clothing stores, and bars are opened within the academy. It can be said that low-level magicians basically live in the academy. Inside.

Only when you reach the fourth grade, that is, become a fourth-level magician, can you apply to live outside the academy, and your study arrangements are more flexible. It doesn't even matter if you don't come to the academy, as long as you meet the graduation requirements within 60 years, but there are very few people who do this.

Lu Jing packed his luggage and said with a smile, "That's right, I got lucky enough to break through to Level [-] in the back mountain yesterday."

"You all know the address of my mansion in Fenlai City. You are welcome to come and play at any time."

Although Lu Jing has already matured mentally, he cannot cultivate any kind of brotherly relationship with these roommates who are still half-teens even though they try to pretend to be mature, but they have been getting along quite happily in the past year and a half, and they are considered the closest friends in the college. .

Seeing Lu Jing's leaving figure, the curly-haired boy came back to his senses: "It's so irritating that people are so different from each other. I thought it only took me one year to advance to the second level magician. It's pretty fast...

Level four... In the past, those who could break through to level four magicians within five years were considered the best students in the academy. "

Although Lu Jing entered the academy with the most dazzling aura, in the past year and a half, he has been low-key and gentle, without any of the arrogance or weird temper of the super geniuses in the past. Never participated in the game.

As time went by, even the halo around them was somewhat ignored by them.

"Have you forgotten his magic talent test? Two super talents." The slightly fat boy said with emotion: "Some geniuses cannot be compared. We are lucky to be friends."

"Why are you so depressed?" Another long-haired boy had an aura of unwillingness to admit defeat.

"The path of a magician is both glorious and long. Super geniuses have their own path, but we don't need to belittle ourselves. Not all of the great wizards and even the holy wizards have outstanding talents. It's just that Noah ran faster. , but it’s not impossible for us to catch up in the future!”

As soon as these words came out, the young and energetic heroes of heaven cheered up again and discussed when they would go to the Holy Capital to visit Lu Jing's mansion during the day without classes.

……

The testing room next to the office of the vice president of the college.

Vice Dean Kweed looked at the dozens of wind blades that struck the metal wall, causing micro marks, and sighed repeatedly: "The perfect 'Chain of Wind Blades' is amazing!
Congratulations, Noah, you are now a fourth-year student at Ernst Academy of Magic. I agree to your application to live outside the academy. "

"But -" Kuweed looked at the genius in front of him who amazed him, and said: "Remember, although you have reached the fourth level of magician in a year and a half, before you reach the fifth level, you will not be able to reach the fifth level. It’s better not to go to the Warcraft Mountains.”

The Warcraft Mountain Range is the largest mountain range in the Magnolia Continent, and it is less than a hundred miles east of Ernst College. It is the place where senior students of Ernst College and several magic and warrior academies near the Holy City undergo trials.

Ernst Academy has strict management of junior students, and a large part of the reason is to try to prevent low-level magicians who overestimate their capabilities from seeking death in the Warcraft Mountains.

After Lu Jing obediently listened to the vice dean's instructions, he immediately left the office.

The reason why he couldn't wait to move out was that it was really inconvenient to practice.

While he was thinking about his next training plan, he suddenly saw a red figure appearing in front of him.

Immediately, the mental power gave a high-frequency warning.

The other party did not restrain his aura at all.

"A powerful man at the level of a great wizard?!"

Lu Jing was shocked, and then quickly activated a meditation method he saw in the library. The hidden magic power became more and more concentrated, and no breath was leaked.

The figure was wearing a red robe and holding a purple-gold magic wand in his hand. All the teachers along the way quickly saluted respectfully.

"The Cardinal?"

Although Lu Jing was surprised, he didn't make any unnecessary movements and just stayed where he was, preparing to salute.

The door to the deputy dean's office also opened immediately, and Kuweed greeted him respectfully: "Master Felix, the dean is waiting for you in the meditation room."

Although Kuweed is the deputy dean and an eighth-level magician.

But the red archbishop is a ninth-level great mage, with a distinguished status and high reputation in the Holy See.

The red archbishop, who was addressed as Lord Felix, nodded reservedly and was about to reply when suddenly his peripheral vision glanced at Lu Jing, who was saluting respectfully.

Then his eyes stagnated, and his dark blue eyes, like the deep sea, suddenly stirred up a storm.

Then it returned to normal, as if nothing had happened just now.

Although Lu Jing, who was bowing and saluting, didn't see it, his tense mind was keenly aware of the other person's abnormality at that moment, but then he began to wonder if it was his own illusion.

"What's going on? Has he seen through my true strength?"

Lu Jingsheng was confused: "No, unless you reach the holy realm, it stands to reason that if a magician under the holy realm deliberately hides his aura, it will be difficult to be seen through, let alone the high-level meditation method I use... "

In order to behave normally, Lu Jing put on a reserved expression, saluted and quickly left the door of the vice dean's office like everyone else.

Archbishop Felix, who calmly looked away from Lu Jing's back, said with a hint of curiosity in his voice: "Is that boy a student of your college?"

Kweed smiled and said: "His name is Noah Hyde, he is a student of our college, and his magic talent is so high that it is rare to see it in a hundred years. He has only been in school for a year and a half, and he has already become a fourth-level magician."

"I heard before that your Ernst Academy accepted a super genius, but I didn't expect it to be him."

Felix had a smile in his eyes: "Hyde... must be the purple flame warrior family from the Otto Kingdom..."

Although his tone was calm, there was a storm in his heart. "Such a pure soul... incredible... simply the best sacrifice to the Lord!"

Felix, who was worried, hastily concluded his discussion with the Dean of Ernst College and quickly returned to the Temple of Light in the Western City of the Holy Capital.

"Have you found it?"

The red archbishop who was pacing back and forth showed a rare hint of anxiety, which surprised his subordinate the purple-robed deacon who came to return. However, the purple-robed deacon suppressed the surprise in his heart and reported in a deep voice.

"Some trouble..."

Felix frowned and muttered to himself after listening to the report.

Obviously Lu Jing's identity made him feel a little troublesome.

A talented student of Ernst Academy, a direct descendant of the great noble family of Otto Kingdom, the Hyde family. He lives in the most prosperous area of ​​the Holy Capital East City. He has a close relationship with the Dawson Chamber of Commerce and is protected by a bodyguard.

Even as a red archbishop, it is difficult to do it easily.

But recalling that young man's incredibly pure soul, Felix was completely unable to suppress the greed rising in his heart.

Such perfect sacrifices are rare in history. Such a feat is enough to make anyone greedy.

"Are you sure that the captain of the Hyde family's guard is a seventh-level warrior?"

The purple-robed deacon said respectfully: "It's the seventh level peak!"

"Peak level seven..." Felix felt a little headache.

It is not an easy matter to abduct the boy of the Hyde family under the protection of a seventh-level peak powerhouse. This is Finlay City, and once there is a disturbance, it will not end well.

It would be better to kidnap the target without causing any commotion or attention, without leaving any clues, and create an unsolved case.

If you really have no choice, you can blame the Dark Alliance.

"Wait." Felix narrowed his eyes slightly: "Wait and see. If you can wait until the best time for that kid to leave Finlay City, but you really can't wait - then find a way to distract that seventh-level peak warrior!"

……

A mansion in the prosperous area of ​​​​the east city of Fenlai City.

Since Lu Jing left the college to live, he rarely attended classes. He seemed to have become a homebody, only practicing in the mansion.

However, after only half a month, Lu Jing's magic power had accumulated to the point where it could no longer be increased.

Level seven peak!

From then on, magic power and spiritual power reached a perfect match.

In other words, the bottleneck has finally been reached.

Lu Jing didn't have a good solution for this at the moment. Improving his mental power was just a waste of time.

The seventh level is considered a strong one in the entire continent. It is not easy to improve even a little bit. Otherwise, the Magnolia Continent would already have as many mages as dogs.

Although Ernst Academy is known as the first magic academy in the mainland, it mainly teaches magicians of level [-] and below.

There is no better secret method for practicing, especially the secret method for improving spiritual power.

Even if there are, they are mostly in the hands of top experts.

For example, in the original work, the carving technique mastered by Delin Cowart, the peak powerhouse of the Holy Realm, can enter the Tao with emotion and enhance spiritual power.

Even if there is such a top-notch method, it takes luck to enter the state of enlightenment and quickly improve your mental power.

Even if Lu Jing gained such a skill, he would still not be able to find a woman he likes enough for him to invest all his emotions in.

This is where it becomes difficult for a magician to improve in the later stages.

The road to magic had reached a bottleneck and it was difficult to make progress in a short period of time, so Lu Jing put his energy into physical training again.

With the bloodline of the Purple Flame warriors, coupled with the physical training method in the first volume of "Purple Flame Secret Code" and Lu Jing's crazy absorption of heaven and earth elements to subtly improve his body, although he is not yet ten years old, his physical body is actually close to three years old. The level of a super warrior.

Warriors who have reached the third level of physical body can try to stimulate the blood power of the purple flame warriors and develop the unique flame fighting spirit of the Hyde family!
"Young Master Noah can calm down and practice so hard at such a young age... It would be great if Young Master Rosen could also work so hard."

Calvin looked at Lu Jing who was working hard on the training ground and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It took him one and a half years to become a fourth-level magician, and his physical body has been trained from a first-level warrior to a level close to a third-level warrior. It's incredible. Is it possible that Master Noah is here?" Is he also a genius as a warrior? Is he a peerless genius in magic and martial arts? This is..."

On the training ground, Lu Jing's entire energy was concentrated inside his body.

Under the strange exercise movements in the first volume of "Purple Flame Secret Code", every bone, muscle, and fascia in the body groaned, as if overwhelmed.

But with this persistence that is close to the limit, the physical fitness is improving bit by bit.

Suddenly, a sound that came from deep within the bones or from the internal organs suddenly exploded.

"Level [-]! Finally reached the level [-] warrior!"

Lu Jing excitedly said to Calvin who was not far away: "I have broken through to level three!"

The progress of his magician training was not told to anyone, but the progress of his physical training was not hidden from Calvin.

"real?!"

Calvin also showed a look of surprise: "In this case, Master Noah can try to activate the power of blood!"
