Pain!
The pain, as if his body was about to be torn apart, spread throughout his entire body in an instant.
A large amount of magic power continuously surged into his body, even exceeding the limits of what meditation could accept.
At this moment, Lin An felt like he was like an explosive barrel that could explode at any time. The amount of magic power reached an unimaginable level, and it surged forward like a river that had burst its banks.
It occupied every part of Lin An’s body, be it his blood or his bones. All of them were occupied by this enormous amount of magic power.
At that moment, Lin An could no longer be considered a person. Instead, he was a combination of magic power that was draped in human skin.
The intense simultaneous attacks made him suffer unspeakably, but he had no choice but to persevere. He didn’t even dare to relax the slightest bit.
Lin An knew that he had to persevere and continuously meditate to convert the mana into his own use. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be long before he would explode from the huge amount of mana.
Therefore, even if it was for his own life, he had to persevere and persevere.
“Good kid, you actually withstood it?”
Sahadika looked at Lin An in surprise. Although this magical power was nothing to him, it was absolutely fatal to Lin An.
Let alone an apprentice like Lin An, even if another magic apprentice came, it would be a dead end.
However, he didn’t expect Lin An to actually endure it.
Although this magical power continued to flow into his body and brought him the feeling of swelling and tearing.
However, this was just physical pain. Lin An didn’t have too much of a burden on his mind. He was already able to control the magic power steadily and let them advance in an orderly manner.
“I didn’t expect this. I really didn’t expect this.”
Looking at Lin An who had already stabilized the situation, Sahadika muttered in surprise, “This kid’s soul seems to be much stronger than an average person’s. It seems like it’s not too surprising that he can learn a forbidden spell.”
“It’s just that his soul is so strong, but his magic affinity is very poor. This is somewhat surprising.”
Generally speaking, geniuses should be more outstanding in all aspects. At least for magic geniuses, their magic affinity and soul toughness should be stronger than the average person’s.
However, this guy’s soul toughness could be said to be terrifying, but the corresponding magic affinity was a mess. He was simply a weirdo!
That was why Sahadika was so surprised that he had actually met such a mysterious guy.
“But that guy was also quite mysterious. He was clearly a priest, but in the end, he created a darkness-type forbidden spell, the Darkness Devouring. He even publicly abandoned his faith.”
“Perhaps only such a mysterious existence would inherit the inheritance of such a mysterious person?”
Sahadika muttered with some nostalgia, but in his heart, he recognized Lin An’s identity even more.
Lin An probably didn’t think that such a flaw of his would actually make Sahadika even more certain of his identity.
Very quickly, under the control of Lin An’s powerful soul, the powerful magic power that Sahadika sent over was controlled. Moreover, it was methodically integrated into Lin An’s body through meditation.
Under this control, the magic power in Lin An’s body continued to increase. Very soon, it had reached a considerable value.
At the same time, the pain of his body being torn apart gradually eased, giving Lin An an indescribable sense of comfort.
Furthermore, Lin An’s realm was also improving bit by bit. Very soon, he had reached the critical point.
He was just one step away from stepping into the level of an advanced magic apprentice.
However, at this moment, the originally abundant mana suddenly disappeared completely.
Not only that, Lin An also felt a strong wave of sleepiness. He almost couldn’t help but fall to the ground.
“This brat really dares to think. He actually wants to borrow my power to break through to the level of an advanced magic apprentice? Dream on!”
Sahadika looked at Lin An who was lying on the ground and couldn’t help but let out a sinister smile.
However, Sahadika then let out a long sigh with some melancholy. “It seems like this brat won’t give me the Darkness Devour so easily. I have to think of a way.”
Sahadika thought as he turned around and walked out.
…
Time passed bit by bit.
Lin An didn’t know how much time had passed before he sat up unsteadily.
“At that time, the mana should have been enough for me to break through to become a high-level magic apprentice. How could it not be enough?”
Lin An thought for a moment and quickly locked onto Sahadika. “It’s definitely that black dragon. He didn’t get what he wanted, that’s why he went against me like this!”
However, even though Lin An said this, he didn’t really show any signs of anger.
After all, it was all thanks to Sahadika that he was able to reach this stage. If it wasn’t for his help, he wouldn’t have been able to improve so quickly, even though the process was a little dangerous.
“Speaking of which, where did this black dragon go?”
Seeing that Sahadika wasn’t here, Lin An had the time to carefully size up the dragon’s nest.
“I have to say that this black dragon is really uncivilized!”
Lin An looked at everything around him with a look of disdain.
What he saw was either gold or color, and it was the color of gemstones.
The entire nest was made of gold, and many gemstones were added as decorations.
At first glance, it was indeed magnificent, but this kind of thing was basically used to fool those country bumpkins who had no artistic talent.
Even a slightly cultured noble would not make their home like this. At first glance, it was filled with gold and gemstones. It was really too ugly, and the most important point was to attract thieves!
Why did so many people want to be dragon-slaying warriors?
This was because there were countless treasures in the dragon’s lair. Killing a dragon could even obtain enough wealth for a kingdom to use for over a hundred years.
With so much wealth, those people naturally wanted to obtain their own wealth and reputation by killing dragons.
There were even some kingdoms that would organize armies during times of financial crisis and try to attack some of the dragon’s lairs. If they could kill the dragons, not only would it allow the kingdom to pass through the crisis safely, it could even strengthen the kingdom’s strength, this was a win-win situation.
Even the dragons were in this kind of trouble. One could imagine how disastrous it would be if the nobles turned their homes into such a mess.
“Who did you say was so uncivilized?”
Just as Lin An was ridiculing them, a dissatisfied voice suddenly came from outside.
Sahadika’s huge figure slowly entered the nest. At the same time, he was holding a magical beast in his mouth, a huge magical beast.
“Come, it’s better to train hard than to break through in actual combat. You should be able to break through after killing the Steel-Armored Giant Turtle, a tier-4 magical beast.”
