Book 2, Growing Up, Chapter 3 – A Clumsy Method (Part 2)

Linley irabbed the rabbit by the throat with one hand CRACK! The rabbit, previously struggling in agony, twitched twice, then went still Ever since watching those two battles half a year ago, the ‘bloodthirsty’ nature of the Dragonblood in Linley’s veins had been in full sway

“I aus of the first rank, but in ter the wild rabbit, Linley couldn’t help but laugh and sigh

Magi were divided into nine ranks, and becous of the first rank was easy But later on, it would become much harder, and take i of the seventh or eighth ranks would spend hundreds of years and still find it hard to attain a higher rank

But for the first rank, half a year would be enough for so as they us, two to three years would be sufficient for theus

The rabbit in his clutches, Linley i down the mountain

“Linley, why aren’t you cooking it? Although the Shadowmouse will eat rawCowart’s voice sounded in Linley’s mind

“Grandpa Doehring, I bet you never coaxed any kids before” While running, Linley replied in a teasing voice

Doehring Coas startled He had never had any grandchildren, and ould a revered Saint-level Grand Magus like hi other kids?

“U Coas forced to admit

Linley self-confidently said, “I often have to coax little Wharton Leive theht off the bat Otherwise, in the future, they’ll expect so even better Right now, the Shadowive hiive hiive him cooked meat That will make him even happier”

Doehring Cowart immediately understood

The older one got, the craftier one got How could he fail to understand this logic? It was the saiving the theave thees in the future

“I read about this as well in a book regarding raisingto four in the afternoon’ isand then lowering to three in the afternoon’ Linley grinned

Doehring Cowart suddenly felt that although Linley was only eight, he wasn’t any inferior toadults

“Looks like the educational methods of the Baruch clan are rather effective after all” Doehring Cowart silently sighed with praise Education can raise a person’s intelligence, but most commoners didn’t have access to education Most commoners could not meet either the entry requireus academies or warrior academies

None of the people of Mt Wushan found it strange for Linley to be running home with a wild hare in hand In truth, ever since Linley had learned the ‘Earth Spike’ spell, he often brought wild hares home

“Young ht another wild hare” The corinned as they watched him pass by

Linley also politely smiled back at them as he walked past them on the street

“I wonder if the Shadow which is provided by another”

Taking a deep breath, Linley entered his family’s manor and went to the back courtyard, and one careful step at a time, approached the location where the Shadowle sound In a short period of time, Linley returned to his earlier position

“Where’s the Shadow, but aside fro

So chewed on, but despite scanning inside the entire building, he couldn’t see even the shadow of the Shadowmouse Linley couldn’t help but feel despondent and , the Shadowmouse isn’t here anymore It was just an hour Did it leave already?”

A ray of light shot out of the Coiling Dragon Ring and transfor Cowart

Doehring Cowart also frowned in confusion “That shouldn’t be the case It was just an hour Did it really leave already?”

Suddenly!

“Crunch, crunch” That faain Linley’s eyes brightened, and he immediately turned and headed towards an ancient courtyard nearby Arriving at the entryway, he clearly saw the black Shadow He seemed al, bizarre shapes

Linley stood at the doorway
