The number of gold coins he possessed had reached 916!
His Physical Body Constitution had reached 126 points!
His spiritual power had also improved by varying degrees!
And his magic spells, too!
Apart from the Fireball Technique, Thorn Vine, and Water Bubble that he already had, he now also had the Earth-Elemental Spell Earthquake, Wind-Elemental Spell Wind Blade, and Fire-Elemental Spell Burning Hand!
2
Although they were all first-grade spells, they greatly enriched Meng Lei's repertoire of spells!
The only sad thing was that his magic power reserves were still too little. It was enough to release only about ten fireballs or ten wind blades. Anything more than that was out of the question!
In order to resolve this, Meng Lei had also secretly tried out the Meditation Method. However, even after several attempts at meditating, all of them had failed!
Magic elements in the universe?
They didn't exist!
He couldn't sense anything at all!
3
After a few fruitless attempts, Meng Lei became greatly perplexed, so he specially consulted Alison about it when he was chatting with her. The conclusion he drew in the end was—he didn't have any talent in magic!
4
Yes, that's right!
He didn't!
Only people who had talent in magic would be able to sense magic elements!
3
Those who couldn't naturally meant that they didn't have any talent in magic!
This conclusion greatly disappointed Meng Lei. He had also had wild wishes that he could be like those main characters in web-novels, where they had terrifying cultivation talent, knew how to do everything, were gifted with an extraordinarily retentive memory, cultivated with half the effort yet achieved double the results, where one day's work was equivalent to other people's ten years of effort…
14
From the look of it now, his imagination had been too active!
In that case, I can only increase my magic power through pickups in the future?
1
Meng Lei was rather disheartened. Even his enthusiasm for snatching kills dwindled significantly.
Pickups?
1
Even with pickups, how much can that amount to?
2
Boom!
2
A gigantic creature crashed onto the ground, its enormous body convulsing violently. Upon seeing that it was about to die any moment now, Bobby, Millo, Yale, and Alison dusted off their hands. There had been great rapport in their teamwork this time, so they had successfully killed the Fiery Flying Pig!
“Ding! Dropped item discovered. Will you pick it up?”
“Yes, pick it up!”
1
“Ding! Congratulations to the host. You've obtained the First-Grade Spell, Fire Ring!”
1
A spell again!
Meng Lei sighed.
Without magic power, what's the use of having so many spells?
6
“Little Meng Lei, why are you so down in the dumps?” asked a slightly surprised Alison as she walked over to Meng Lei with a magic staff in her hand.
Her impression was that Meng Lei was usually a very lively person and was very active in snatching kills!
Why was he all wilted today?
“Alison, is it impossible for someone to become a Magician if they don't have magic talent?” asked Meng Lei, who couldn't reconcile himself with the fact.
“Without magic talent, of course it's impossible for anyone to become a Magician!”
As though this was to be expected as a matter of course, Alison added, “Just like Bobby and the other two, all of them come from fairly impressive family backgrounds. Even so, they still couldn't become Magicians precisely because they don't have magic talent!”
“Magic talent is a hurdle. Just how many people has it obstructed and kept outside the grand hall of magic?” said Millo, the muscular man with the giant axe. Then, he raised his eyebrows and asked, “What, do you wish to become a Magician too, little Meng Lei?”
“Isn't that obvious, Millo? Who doesn't want to become a Magician?” teased Bobby with a laugh.
Yale nodded slightly, agreeing wholeheartedly with the statement. There were so many people in Heaven's Vault Continent, and every one of them wished to become a Magician. Unfortunately, it was just that they didn't have any talent in magic, so it was nothing more than just daydreaming!
Meng Lei let out a couple of resigned laughs and said no more.
1
“Let's go on ahead!”
“Little Meng Lei, I'll leave the next Magical Beast's head to you. Remember to take the kill!”
“Meng Lei, my little old brother. Cheer up, you have a lot of physical strength, so you're born to be someone who cultivates Battle Aura. Be a Warrior like me instead, magic doesn't suit you!”
1
“Hahaha, that's right…”
The group continued on their journey as they chatted and laughed. After a few days of interaction, the wariness that the four of them held toward Meng Lei had gradually lessened. Their relationship had also become a lot more harmonious, and they had become mutually familiar, so they could now somewhat joke around with each other.
Under Bobby and the others' counseling, Meng Lei's mood gradually improved. After they continued forward for a few kilometers, an earthshaking roar suddenly came from the sky!
Roar!
Horrifying sound waves spread outward as though an atomic bomb had exploded! It was so loud that everyone's ears were humming. Looks of agony appeared on their faces!
“What's going on?”
“Has a high-grade Magical Beast run out to the forest's outer boundary?”
1
Everyone was alarmed and fearful. With such a fearsome roar, it was highly likely that it was a high-grade Magical Beast. With everyone's current battle capabilities, only death awaited them for sure should they encounter a high-grade Magical Beast!
“Look at the sky!” shouted Bobby suddenly.
The others lifted their heads upon hearing him. Then, all of them started trembling all over as if they had seen a ghost!
In the sky, a long distance away, a terrifying behemoth more than 100 meters long was suspended in the air. It had the same physique as a Colossal Dragon, wings like an eagle's, and the head of a lion!
3
With long narrow ears and sharp claws like a bull's horns, it shone a brilliant gold all over its body. Covered in armor, it had a horrifying build and looked savage and ferocious!
However, the key was that unlike other flying Magical Beasts, the gigantic creature wasn't flapping its wings, and yet it could still suspend itself in mid-air and fly about. Its identity was pretty much on the tips of everyone's tongues!
“Could that be the legendary Saint Domain Magical Beast, the Golden Flame Dragonne?”
3
Alison's teeth chattered, and her body shook as she uttered the question!
Bobby, Millo, and Yale were also shaking like a leaf. Their eyes were full of fear and alarm!
“A dragon's body, an eagle's wings, a lion's head, and the ability to fly!”
5
Bobby swallowed hard repeatedly. He said, “That is definitely the Saint Domain Magical Beast, the Golden Flame Dragonne!”
“Oh my dragon god, aren't Saint Domain Magical Beasts supposed to be in the Magical Beast Forest's central region? Why is it showing up here?” asked Millo, who found this inconceivable!
“S-saint Domain Magical Beast? Oh my god!”
Meng Lei stared hard at the gigantic creature in the sky. Even his breathing had become quick and ragged. It had been quite some time since he had come to Heaven's Vault Continent. In particular, after spending the last few days with Alison and the others, he had heard a lot of behind-the-scenes stories about this world!
2
For example, how battle capabilities were categorized!
Be it Warriors, Magicians, or other races and Magical Beasts, their battle capabilities were categorized, in ascending order, from first-grade to ninth-grade, with first-grade being the weakest and ninth-grade the strongest!
A First-Grade Warrior had a significant boost in strength and was nimble and agile.
A Ninth-Grade Warrior moved like lightning and was capable of killing someone from afar!
And higher than ninth-grade was an existence that belonged in legends—the Saint Domain!
7
Illusory and vague, the Saint Domain was a legend within legends. A Saint Domain existence could control the universe and fly freely through the sky. They had an endless lifespan and even possessed destructiveness that could ravage heaven and earth…
The Saint Domain!
That was an existence far above everything else and stood at the top of the pyramid of lifeforms in Heaven's Vault Continent. Like a nuclear warhead, it was an existence of strategic significance!
Moreover, as a Saint Domain Magical Beast, the Golden Flame Dragonne was a king among Magical Beasts. This particular magical beast—a combination of the Colossal Dragon, a lion, and an eagle—was a creature that was neither here nor there. Given the Colossal Dragon blood running through its veins, it was considered an outstanding existence even among Saint Domain Magical Beasts!
“Look over there!”
Yale's eyes suddenly widened as he pointed at the sky.
Meng Lei turned and looked over, and was stunned at once. In front of the massive Golden Flame Dragonne were two tiny floating humans—though the “tiny” here was only in relation to the Golden Flame Dragonne!
They were actually about the same size as ordinary humans!
It was an elderly man and a teenager!
The elderly man was wearing a purple magician robe, and he had a rosy complexion and a kindly expression on his face. The teenage girl next to him was about sixteen to seventeen years old. Her shining eyes were bright and alert, while her teeth were pearly white—she looked as if she were a fairy!
11
The wind blew strongly in the air. However, there was a purple protective shield around the elderly man and the teenage girl. Lightning snaked about on the outside of the shield. No matter how strongly the wind blew, it actually couldn't move the pair at all!
“H-humans?”
Alison and the other three men's jaws dropped. They were completely stunned. Human Warriors and Magicians could only fly in the sky like birds after they had reached the Saint Domain level!
2
Of course, this was with the exception of Wind-Elemental Magicians.
However, since the elderly man and young girl were standing so proudly in mid-air and had put up a lightning shield, they were definitely Thunder-Elemental Saint Domain Magicians!
“Lowly humans, to be so bold as to provoke the great Carlos, what are your intentions?”
