ng Lei hung up, secretly thrilled.
During this period of ti in the Magical Beast Forest, he had accumulated quite a good number of magic cores. They would definitely sell for a hefty sum of money.
Cashing out the magic cores! An explosive increase in his wealth!
Tonight was the night! ng Lei couldn’t wait!
Beep, beep, beep!
The magic communication device rang again at this point. ng Lei took a look at it—it was his head teacher, Dirk Norway.
“ng Lei, you’re back?”
“Yes, I am, Mr. Dirk.”
“Good to know that you’re back.” Dirk Norway heaved a sigh of relief. “Where are you at the mont? Co to my office if you’re free. Soone wants to et you.”
“Coming right over.”
After ng Lei hung up, he said apologetically, “I’m really sorry, Ol’ President. I can’t continue the stroll with you anymore.”
“Go ahead.” Ol’ Amos waved him off. “You can also ask about the Dragon-Language Magic along the way.”
“Got it.” ng Lei nodded.
Then, he walked toward the faculty building. Half an hour later, he reached the front of the building.
“Eh?”
At this point, the countenance of Ol’ Amos, who had been floating about beside him the whole ti, suddenly changed a little, and he returned to the spatial ring right away.
“What’s the matter, Ol’ President?” asked ng Lei, who looked startled.
“There’s the presence of Saint Domains in there.” Ol’ Amos replied via spiritual telepathy.
“Saint Domains!”
Mildly alard, ng Lei didn’t ask any further. Ol’ Amos was in spiritual form, so most people couldn’t see him. However, a Saint Domain expert could.
Should a Saint Domain expert discover him, things would beco very troubleso. If mishandled, his life might even co under threat!
I didn’t expect there to be Saint Domains in the faculty building.
ng Lei looked at the building in front of him.
I wonder who it is? The academy president? Or the few vice-presidents?
Mr. Dirk’s office ca into view while he was imrsed in his thoughts. ng Lei knocked on the door.
The door opened, and Mr. Dirk ca out to receive him. He looked ng Lei up and down with joy in his eyes and said cheerfully, “You’re finally back, boy. Here, c’mon in!”
The office was as quiet as usual. Bookshelves and magic-related books occupied a large half of the space, making the place rather cramped and ssy. ng Lei’s eyes swept across the bookshelves, his thoughts flashing across his mind at high speed.
Mr. Dirk has such a vast collection of books. I wonder if there are any books on Dragon-Language Magic among them?
Just as he was thinking about that, Mr. Dirk’s voice rang out. “ng Lei, let introduce soone to you.”
“Eh?”
ng Lei was taken aback for a mont there.
There’s soone else in here?
ng Lei followed Mr. Dirk’s line of sight and noticed an ordinary-looking red-haired elderly man with a short and round stature. His dressing was very ordinary, and so were his looks. He didn’t exhibit any sort of aura and seed down-to-earth and unadorned. Plain and unremarkable, he was the kind of person that one would lose sight of the mont he was thrown into the crowd.
However, ng Lei felt rather unsettled. With his keen Ninth-Grade Great Magician senses, he could clearly detect other presences in the room, even if it were just a cat.
Yet, he hadn’t detected the elderly man’s presence at all even after he’d entered the room for such a long ti. Was he really just an ordinary old man?
With a hint of respect, Dirk Norway introduced the man to ng Lei. He said, “ng Lei, this is President Fred!”
“President Fred?” ng Lei looked dumbfounded. “He’s President Fred? Surely not?”
“Hahaha! Do you feel that I don’t look like him?” asked the elderly man with a laugh.
Then, his face began to undergo a swift transformation. It didn’t take long before he turned into a completely different appearance. A pair of horns grew from his head, and his eyes were dignified and awe-inspiring—it was exactly what ng Lei rembered of the academy president.
“So it really is the academy president!” exclaid ng Lei. He hastily greeted him. “Greetings, President!”
“Co here, co here. Let take a good look at you.”
A smiling President Fred looked at ng Lei and remarked, “As expected of the most excellent genius our academy has recruited this year. You’re a handso young man, indeed.”
“You’re too kind, President.”
ng Lei took on a very humble attitude. The man in front of him was a Saint Domain, after all. A high and mighty Saint Domain!
President Fred asked with a smile, “ng Lei, I heard that you’re already a Ninth-Grade Great Magician?”
“Yes, I am!”
ng Lei didn’t deny it. He couldn’t deny it, either; a lot of people had already witnessed it. Besides, ng Lei didn’t intend to, either.
“I heard from Mr. Dirk that you were only a Fifth-Grade Magician when you left the academy. After that, in just a short month or so, you broke through to beco a Ninth-Grade Great Magician!”
There was a sharp glint in President Fred’s eyes. “A breakthrough speed like that is truly shocking. Even the cultivation speed of Adolf, that Abyss Demon genius whose achievents are peerless in history, wasn’t that fast. I’m very curious, ng Lei, how did you manage to achieve this?”
Dirk Norway was also looking at ng Lei, his eyes filled with puzzlent. ng Lei’s cultivation speed wasn’t sothing that could rely be described as “fast” anymore; it was totally illogical.
President Fred added, “Of course, this is just pure curiosity on my part. I don’t have any intentions of interrogating you. You can choose not to answer if you don’t wish to.”
I can choose not to answer? Yeah, right!
If I don’t give you a proper explanation today, you’ll probably think I’m a devil spy, like Adolf!
Besides, I still want to learn how to use the Titan Holy Thunder from you. If I don’t convince you today, how am I supposed to learn it?
“This is actually my biggest secret. I didn’t intend to tell anyone initially...” ng Lei looked awfully troubled as he said, “But since you’ve asked President, then I can only be truthful about it. I hope the President and Mr. Dirk can keep it a secret for .”
“Of course!” The two of them nodded repeatedly.
“Actually, I had an amazing encounter.”
“An amazing encounter?” President Fred and Mr. Dirk exchanged a look.
In a deep and low voice, ng Lei slowly said, “During the recent winter break, when I was training in the Magical Beast Forest, I t one of my ancestors by chance, and received pointers from him...”
“Brat, what are you trying to do?” Ol’ Amos’ panicked, and his accusatory voice rang out in ng Lei’s mind. “Why are you ratting this old man out?”
“This is an ergency, Ol’ President. I can only let you down now!” ng Lei hastily apologized and said, “But don’t worry, I’m just using you as a scapegoat. It won’t do you any harm!”
“A scapegoat? You unfilial descendant...” Ol’ Amos was practically boiling mad.
“Your ancestor?”
“Pointers from him?”
President Fred and Mr. Dirk looked at each other. ng Lei had an ancestor?
What kind of ancestor could help ng Lei, a Fifth-Grade Magician, to break through and beco a Ninth-Grade Great Magician with just a few pointers?
“My ancestor’s na is Amos Kroc!”
ng Lei sold Ol’ Amos out thoroughly!
“Amos Kroc?”
A frowning President Fred sank into contemplation for a brief mont. Then, his countenance suddenly changed. “Are you talking about the academy’s second president from 20,000 years ago, President Amos?”
“Yes, that’s him.” ng Lei gave a heavy nod.
“To think it’s actually him!”
Mr. Dirk’s eyes widened dramatically, and he couldn’t help but exclaim, “ng Lei, are you saying that President Amos is actually still alive? Hasn’t he gone missing?”
“According to what I know, President Amos had resigned from his position as academy president in the past because of what his disciple, Adolf, did. There was no news of him, and no traces of him at all ever since then.”
President Fred’s eyes bore into ng Lei. “Yet you’re saying that he’s been living in seclusion in Magical Beast Forest all this ti... ng Lei, I’m finding your words truly hard to believe!”
“I know this sounds inconceivable, but it’s the truth.” ng Lei brought out a red scale. “This is sothing that my ancestor gave . He appointed as the current clan leader of the Krocs and ordered to restore the Krocs to their forr glory.”
“That’s...”
President Fred stared hard at the red dragon scale in ng Lei’s hand. At the sight of this, ng Lei passed him the scale.
“A pure-blooded Saint Domain Fire Dragon’s scale! This is a pure-blooded Saint Domain Fire Dragon’s scale!”
President Fred examined the red dragon scale with a look of shock and astonishnt. He said, “Isn’t President Amos a Dragon Person? Could it be that... He has already cultivated till the pinnacle of Saint Domain and has thoroughly been reborn into a pure-blooded Fire Dragon?”
“No, he probably isn’t just at the pinnacle of Saint Domain!” With a shake of his head, ng Lei said, “I estimate that my ancestor has already stepped into another realm a long ti ago. I once had the fortune to see his true Fire Dragon body. It was as long as 10,000 feet!”
“10,000 feet? Isn’t that...”
President Fred took a gasp of chilly air!
