Chapter 35

James left.

But there was still that hint of glory on his face.

Not because of himself, but because of Lin Lei!

Lin Lei was silent for a long time, then he bowed deeply to James.

“Lord, rest in peace.”

The door to the living room was pushed open.

Alice, Roderick, and the other tower lords of the Li Fire Sect all filed in.

They looked at James, who had an endless glory on his face, lying quietly on the bed. There was no breath in his mouth or nose.

“Daddy!”

Alice could no longer hold back her tears.

Roderick looked up at the sky, recalling the experiences he had with James over the past hundred years.

“James, rest in peace.”

Soon, the entire Li Fire Sect began to bustle with activity.

All of this was for the glorious funeral of the lord of the White Tiger Tower of Li Fire Sect.

From the day the sect was founded, James had become the mainstay of Li Fire Sect. It could be said that James was the true elder of Li Fire Sect!

James’ funeral was extremely grand!

And as the only disciple of the White Tiger Tower, Lin Lei had to attend as well, covering James with a white cloth.

James’ grave was buried not too far away from White Tiger Tower.

Most likely, James’ heroic spirit would forever guard this place, guiding the Li Fire Sect forward.

…

After James’ glorious funeral, Lin Lei once again returned to the solitary confinement room.

Originally, when James was still alive, people would occasionally talk about Lin Lei’s existence. After all, Lin Lei was James’ only disciple. But now, with James’ departure, Lin Lei had finally disappeared from the minds of all the other disciples.

He was completely invisible.

Lin Lei was very happy about this. After all, he would be able to focus even more on his training in this way.

In the blink of an eye, a few months passed.

Within the confinement room, Lin Lei once again opened his stats window.

[ Name: Lin Lei ]

[ Power: Li Fire Sect ]

[ Strength: Peak rank of nineth level grand enchanter (Progress: 99.99%) ]

2

[ Weapon: Sword of Damocles 2/5(King Rank)]

[ Mystic Abilities: Darkness judgement, titan God’s stomp, eye of inspection, concealment, dark elf’s evasion spell, crusade judgement, fire separation skill… ]

[ Number of training sessions: 25,000]

[ Remark: Host, please quickly begin training basic magics. Each training session will allow you to increase your own strength. After training for a certain number of sessions, you will be able to receive all sorts of bountiful rewards! ]

Lin Lei looked at his stats window and went deep in thought.

So much time had passed. Not only had Lin Lei’s strength broken through the limits of the grand enchanter realm, he had also trained magics for a total of 25,000 times.

But even so, Lin Lei still hadn’t found the chance to break through to the sage realm.

“Can it be that, in order to break through to the sage level, one can’t just stay in Li Fire Sect?”

Lin Lei muttered to himself. Perhaps it was time to go out and take a walk.

Thus, Lin Lei had the disciple of Li Fire Sect, who was in charge of the confinement room, to call Alice over as she was still in the White Tiger Tower.

Not long after, Alice hurried over.

Ever since James’ death, Alice’s aura had changed dramatically.

The originally innocent and lively Alice had become somewhat reserved. She rarely spoke to anyone and was quietly training by herself.

Aside from being able to maintain her original appearance in front of Lin Lei, Alice had always been as cold as ice, like an icy mountain range.

Perhaps Alice felt that Lin Lei was the only family she had left in this world.

“Lin Lei, they said you were looking for me?”

Alice’s little head popped out of the door and her delicate body leaned forward slightly, taking out a basket of fruits from her back.

“These are the fruits I bought for you before I came.”

Every time Alice came to visit Lin Lei, she wouldn’t forget to bring him the freshest fruits.

Right now, Lin Lei wasn’t in a hurry to eat any fruits. He put the fruit basket aside and said to Alice, “Alice, after a while, I might go out. I have some things want to give you.”

“Eh?”

“Lin Lei, are you going afar?”

Alice was somewhat surprised, but then she understood, “Yeah. Right now, there really isn’t anything in the Li Fire Sect that can be lingered.”

Lin Lei smiled slightly. He didn’t explain to Alice that he wanted to go out in order to break through the shackles of being a grand enchanter.

Stretching out his right hand, an exquisite soft armor appeared in Lin Lei’s hand.

The soft armor was silver in color and there was a faint, deep and magical aura emanating from it. This was a mid-level grandmaster-level defensive magical tool, specially designed for ladies.

“Alice, put this on. If you encounter any danger, it can save your life.”

“Eh… This is a magic tool!”

Although Alice did not understand, she could tell that this was definitely not an ordinary item by the extraordinary magical fluctuation of the soft armor.

“It’s too valuable. How can I accept it?”

“Alice, you know that I have always treated you as my sister. Why do you still refuse?”

“Isn’t it right and proper for a big brother to protect his little sister?”

Lin Lei said in a low voice with his tone extremely solemn and not allowing for any refusal.

“Just keep it…”

Only now did Alice accept the soft armor.

Lin Lei nodded. He was very satisfied that Alice had accepted it. Three more shadows appeared in his right hand.

A slender icy blue longsword, a sparkling translucent pearl, and a protective talisman made of jade.

This icy blue longsword was also a grandmaster-level weapon!

“This sword is called the Ice Dragon Maligos’ tooth. It can strengthen your magic power by ten times.”

“This is the Gnome’s tear. If you encounter a life-threatening crisis, you can raise your strength by an entire realm in a short period of time after using it. But the side effects are also very strong. If you don’t receive treatment in a short period of time, your magic circuit will probably shatter just like tower lord. Unless it was a critical situation, you definitely shouldn’t use it.”

“This amulet is also a magical tool. Once you detonate it, I’ll be able to sense your location.”

Lin Lei told Alice about the functions of the three items in his hands.
