Chapter 872: Teacher

During a different time tens of thousand years ago, humans advanced to the magus realm in various different ways.

Be it through divine artifacts, divine beings or surviving the tribulations, humans had to receive extreme fortune or go through extreme difficulty in order to become a magus.

Until one day, a group of ancient magus invented the key to the path of immortality: a solution for humans to cultivate and reach the magus level without having to go through such dangers.

This key was the Awakening Scroll.

It was the greatest invention of the human universe and for the human race, the beginning of their rise to becoming one of the major powers of the universe comparable to the elven race.

"Therefore, Emery, if it is indeed as you say and the dragons or the primordial wisps have a different way, a different key… it is not very surprising if they can help you succeed. However, for the human alliance, it is common knowledge that drifting from the rules would make it almost impossible to succeed." Magus Xion explained.

Even those who follow the rules still found it hard to advance. Those who were with a faulty spirit core like him, even with a slight chance of advancing into the magus realm, would still be considered a failure for only advancing with such insignificant law comprehension. Hence, no one really ever cared and it was deemed a hopeless endeavor.

Emery listened to the explanation much more calmly than expected.

Although it seemed like bad news, this knowledge took away the mist of confusion in Emery's head.

Finally, he understood why all the grand magus rejected him as a disciple during the Magus Games and why the dragon said the way humans cultivate was wrong and was even confident he had a different way to make him a magus.

Emery breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Master, I understand now," Emery expressed his sincere gratitude and deeply bowed.

Emery was deeply grateful to his master. Although he could not be compared to the other privileged acolytes with all their grand magus titles, he knew his master always gave his best for him.

At the same time, the tea was finished and Magus Xion stood up.

"Let's end the talk here, shall we? Let me see your progress."

Hearing that Emery only raised his head to meet his master's smiling gaze. The two then walked out of the house and stood across from each other.

A soft breeze blew onto their bodies as the master-disciple pair took out their respective weapons and prepared to face each other. With a smile on both of their faces, the two were ready.

"A rank 9 privilege is no joke at all! Let's see if the student has surpassed the teacher!" Magus Xion lightheartedly said, before turning more serious, "Give me your all, Emery! Don't hold back!"

Emery only responded with a smile before closing his eyes. Following his focus, his power quickly surged, as his body slowly transformed into the white and black wolf figure.

Howlー

[Twilight Transformation]

[Battle Power: 244 (361)]

With the dark sword at hand and the [36 Dao Divine Sword Technique] stance, Emery swiftly dashed toward his master without an ounce of hesitation.

Swords were swung, spells were cast and laughter soon followed from the two sides.

Clank! Clank! Clank!

Despite being quite the humble man, Magus Xion was in no way an ordinary magus. At a considerable young age, he had already been accepted as an instructor. Moreover, not only was he a master swordsman, but he also comprehended two laws.

The figure in front of him was what a real magus should be like. A striking contrast compared to his fight against the foolish Bradley and even to the Ouroboros warden.

This fight was something on a different level.

Clank! Clank! Clank!

"Amazing sword technique…" Magus Xion praised, as he dodged and parried Emery's attacks.

Emery started using [Blink] and his most dependable spell, [Jade Root]. The combination of attacks was enough to pressure Magus Xion, but the dark magus was still able to dodge all of them with the advanced [Weeping Phantom] steps.

"Amazing! Now let me see if you can properly use my best skill."

The magus then jumped a few steps back and channeled all his power into his sword, ready to throw his strongest sword skill. Without delay, Emery followed.

[Shadow Edge]

Two powerful sword slashes imbued with darkness energy instantly blasted out, creating a powerful clash of energies.

Bammmm!

However, even with the boost in spell power from his Fey Transformation, Emery's [Shadow Edge] still could not compare to Magus Xion with his power of the Law.

Of course, that did not mean he was going to concede. Moving at his fastest speed, Emery continuously attacked with different patterns from different angles, while simultaneously dodging and parrying Magus Xion's occasional counterattacks.

Clankk! The last clash threw them both away a few steps.

"Enough!" Magus Xion suddenly exclaimed, as he sheathed his sword and laughed to his heart's content. "Hahaha, I am so happy, Emery! I'm very happy!"

Under Emery's confused gaze, the magus approached him and patted Emery's shoulder.

"I am happy to announce there is nothing else I can teach you!" Magus Xion joyfully said with pride.

However, contrary to how Emery thought he would feel from the recognition, the magus' words brought him the opposite of joy. He felt he was going to miss all their time spent training together.

The magus' proud expression reminded him of his first training with the leaves and his second training of catching the thundermouse.

Emery unconsciously knelt to offer his greatest respect to his master, but Magus Xion quickly helped him up.

"You shall rise to become a great magus, Emery. I am sure of it."

Before Emery could respond, Magus Xion pulled away and prepared himself to leave.

"Well then, I have to return to the classes," the magus stopped for a second. "I took some time to check on your mid-test mission. If you're lucky, you might find something familiar to your home there."

The magus' sudden words greatly piqued his curiosity, but the magus only smiled in response before continuing.

"No, no, no… I am also an instructor, you know. Revealing it is akin to giving you a cheat. Haha, you don't need to think about it too much. With your current strength, I have zero worries."

Magus Xion then swiftly dashed away.

Seeing his master's figure leave, Emery could not help but feel somewhat sentimental. Was this what growing up felt like? Now that his master personally said he had nothing to teach him, Emery must stand with his own strength and become less dependent on his master.

It was time to prepare for the mid-test meetings.
