“My Physical Body Constitution was still 7,000-odd points previously, but it has reached as high as 14,878 points now! The increase is pretty dramatic!”
Meng Lei was greatly comforted as he stared at his personal stats. After the last three months of painstaking cultivation, all of his various attributes had increased by quite a few times!
Be it his physical body constitution, spiritual power, or his magic power reserves, all of them had reached Sixth-Grade Warrior or Magician level. His battle capabilities were steadily increasing and were far beyond what they had been three months ago!
In particular, thanks to his unexpected gain of the Fire Demon bloodline today, his physical body constitution had improved by leaps and bounds, and stepped into an all-new domain!
Seventh-Grade Warrior!
This was already part of a High-Level Warrior’s domain! He could be said to be a fairly strong expert, even in the capital city. Should he go to a remote region, he could even dominate an area!
“Following my physical body constitution’s enhancement, my magic power has started to lag behind a little! It’s alright, though. I can break through anytime I want, as long as I’m willing to!”
Meng Lei’s line of vision involuntarily landed on the wealth field. He had been saving his gold coins but hadn’t borne to use them all this time. That was how he had accumulated the vast total assets of 182,915 gold coins!
182,915 gold coins = 18,291 Attribute Points!
18,291 Attribute Points!
This was enough to propel Meng Lei into the level of a Seventh-Grade Magician if he used them now. With both his magic power and physical capabilities at seventh-grade, his battle capabilities would become terrifying for sure!
Meng Lei wasn’t in a hurry to redeem the points, however. Good resources should be employed where they were needed most. It wouldn’t be too late even if he redeemed the points during a critical moment instead. He should be thrifty wherever he could afford to!
A few minutes later, the energy within his body gradually depleted fully. A wave of feebleness came over Meng Lei, and he turned back into his human form.
“Judging from the transformation time, the Fire Demon bloodline is a strong and powerful one that doesn’t lose out to the Fire Dragon bloodline at all!”
Why was that?
It was because, at Meng Lei’s current level of body sturdiness, his dragon transformation could only last eight minutes. When he transformed into a Fire Demon, the transformation similarly lasted only eight minutes!
The same body!
The same amount of transformation time!
What did this show?
It showed that the Fire Demon bloodline was just as strong as the Fire Dragon bloodline!
“Two types of bloodlines!
“The Fire Dragon bloodline!
“The Fire Demon bloodline!
“Surely, I can also be considered as having the potential to become an expert now, right?”
Meng Lei was very satisfied with his unexpected gain tonight. However, the drafts at his crotch and his naked body made him exceptionally embarrassed. During his first transformation into a Fire Demon just now, the flames that he’d released had burned up all his clothes again…
“If only I had a spatial ring! If I could prepare a few sets of clothes and store them in the spatial ring, this awkward situation of having nothing to wear would never happen!”
Meng Lei’s desire for a spatial ring grew even stronger. That thing really brought a lot of convenience. It was just a pity that it was too expensive, so he couldn’t afford it!
Bang, bang, bang!
The sound of knocking rang out—someone was knocking on the restroom’s door!
“Huh?”
Meng Lei’s eyes swiveled, and he walked behind the door and opened it. A big-bellied human nobleman then walked in and glared at Meng Lei hostilely!
The haughty human nobleman shouted furiously, “Kid, was it you that locked the restroom’s door from the inside? Do you have a death wish?!”
“Hehe, so sorry about that!”
Meng Lei smiled apologetically. Then, he smashed his fist right into him!
Pow!
…
“Damn! These clothes are too big!”
Meng Lei left the restroom cursing after he had changed. The clothes were too big, making him feel as if he was wearing a dress. It felt very uncomfortable!
But what was he to do?
Let’s just put up with it!
A few minutes later, Meng Lei, dressed in clothes too big for him, knocked on the door to Uno’s, the supervisor of the arena, office.
“Come in!”
“Good day, Supervisor Uno!”
“Oh, it’s Meng Lei!”
A smiling Uno looked up. However, when he noticed Meng Lei’s clothes, he couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment there. With an expression full of puzzlement, he pointed at Meng Lei and said, “Brother Meng Lei, you…”
“Cough! I accidentally dirtied my clothes just now, so…” replied Meng Lei with an embarrassed smile. He didn’t even bat an eyelid as he lied!
“Dirtied?”
His words made Uno think of other matters, and he gave Meng Lei a meaningful look. Then, he said with a smile, “Brother Meng Lei, your appearance fee of 10,000 gold coins for tonight has been paid to you. Do take note, and check whether you’ve received it!”
“No, it’s fine! With you in charge, I can rest reassured!” replied Meng Lei with a wave of his hand. Then, he said with a smile, “Other than collecting the appearance fee, there’s something else I’d like your help with!”
“What is it?”
Uno raised his eyebrows, secretly delighted. Ever since Meng Lei had joined Flame Arena, he had rarely troubled him. This made Uno feel rather helpless!
Why? Because he wanted to get into Meng Lei’s good books!
Yes, that’s right!
He wanted to get into his good books!
Others might not know Meng Lei’s background, but Uno was very clear on that—he was Fire Dragon Academy’s top freshman!
However, if that was all there was to him, then he wouldn’t be worth Uno getting acquainted with him, of course!
Uno’s real reason for befriending Meng Lei was his performance in the arena—in a total of 30 matches, he had achieved 24 victories, 3 draws, and 4 losses!
He had also become a Silver Fighter in one try and achieved the extraordinary accomplishment of 12 consecutive victories!
A Silver Fighter was a high-grade fighter that typical fighters couldn’t hope to even match up to. Without strong battle capabilities to back them up, it was useless no matter how experienced they were!
Silver Fighters typically possessed at least the battle capabilities of a Sixth-Grade Warrior at their pinnacle. An overwhelming majority of Silver Fighters were Seventh-Grade Warriors. Flaming Tiger Fire Demon, the Two-Star Silver Fighter whom Meng Lei had just defeated, was precisely a Seventh-Grade Warrior!
Had it been other Sixth-Grade Warriors at their pinnacle, or even a Seventh-Grade Warrior or Magician, Uno wouldn’t have taken a second look at them. As someone who had astounding forces behind him, why would he care about a Seventh-Grade Warrior or Magician?
But…
If the said Seventh-Grade Warrior or Magician were a 15-years-old young boy, then that would be unbelievable!
Moreover, Uno had even realized something critical!
Meng Lei wasn’t just a Magician—his body was also very strong. Although he had rarely made use of his physique in all 30 of his matches, it couldn’t escape Uno’s eyes!
15 years old!
At least sixth-grade pinnacle!
And a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts at that!
He had rarely even heard of someone like that, much less seen one. Uno had only one word of appraisal for him—a genius!
A real genius!
When associating with someone like that, he naturally needed to get in their good graces. Meng Lei might just become an astonishingly great figure in the future! When that happened, he would receive unimaginable rewards!
Thus, upon seeing that Meng Lei had something to request of him, Uno was naturally overjoyed.
“I’d like to take a month’s leave to return home!”
Without any hesitation whatsoever, Meng Lei went straight to the point and voiced his request. As a Silver Fighter, he needed to fight at least five matches per month. He couldn’t go home unless he took a leave of absence!
“Take leave?”
Uno nodded slightly. Fire Dragon Academy was on winter vacation now, so it was normal that Meng Lei would apply for leave to go home. He didn’t reject his request, but smiled and said, “That’s alright, of course! Is a month enough? How about two months instead?”
“A month is enough!”
…
It was already 10 p.m. by the time he left Flame Arena. Meng Lei didn’t return to the magic academy but headed toward Great Axe Academy instead. His two little buddies, Joseph and Andrew, were studying there.
Winter vacation had probably also started at Great Axe Academy. Meng Lei wanted to ask Joseph and Andrew whether they would like to go back to the village together. If possible, they would be able to keep each other company if they went back together!
“Looking at the date, it has been almost two months since I last saw them?
“And there’s that girl Jonah, too…”
