The stream was gurgling, and Linley sat cross-legged, holding a flat knife and a stone the size of a palm.
"Start with the basics and practice with this little rock..."
In the back mountain of Ernst College, Lin Lei began to study carving alone under the teaching of Dering Cowart. In the middle and late stages, it can improve the reason for mental strength.
For others to carve, you need to use a lot of tools.
It takes a lot of thought and effort to use different tools in different places alone. Every good work comes out with painstaking efforts.
Flat knife genres are different.
The tool is only a flat knife, so you don’t need to think about changing various tools. Of course, it is much more difficult to use only one tool. For example, the part that can be carved by a jade bowl knife, to use a flat knife to carve, you need to master the stone quality. almost demanding to the extreme.
And there is power.
Some large scraps need to be split with an axe, and if you use a flat knife alone, you need enough force.
The mastery of stones can be felt by the unique ability of earth magicians. And wrist strength requires training. Linley is now a second-level magician, and his arm strength can be considered quite good. But his wrist strength can only engrave small works. To engrave large ones, his wrist strength is still not enough.
but…
Now Linley is just laying the foundation.
…
When the school year ended, Linley returned to Wushan Town.
After the Chinese New Year, little Wharton and his brother Linley met for a few days, and they went to the O'Brien Empire under the care of Ciri's butler. Linley could only reluctantly watch Little Wharton leave and was only six years old crying. The 10-year-old Wharton was separated from the ten-year-old Linley.
time flies.
At the Ernst Academy, Linley was still a maverick, spending most of the day doing penance in the mountains behind the academy.
When entering puberty, Linley's appetite increased sharply and his height went up. Naturally, his physical fitness and strength improved by leaps and bounds. In the stone carving skills, with the teachings of Dering Cowart, as well as Linley's own efforts, there was also a time. times progress.
…
Spring and autumn come, flowers bloom and fall, and three years have passed in a blink of an eye.
A waterfall in the mountain behind Ernst College.
"Rumble~~~" The waterfall poured down like a curtain of water, smashing into the deep pool.
And Linley was right next to the waterfall, holding a nearly thirty centimeter-long flat knife and carving continuously on a half-human-high stone. The flat knife almost danced into a phantom. As the flat knife passed by, the waste of the stone continued to flow. Throwing it away, the embryo of the entire stone carving gradually took shape.
From morning to evening, the stone carving became clearer and clearer.
Linley's eyes were completely focused on the stone sculpture. At this moment, the whole person seemed to be immersed in nature, and his heart was in harmony with the entire stone sculpture. That wonderful feeling made Linley not feel the passage of time at all. This feeling of being completely close to nature actually made Linley feel His spiritual power began to recover and even revitalized and grew.
Linley himself seemed to be unaware, still using the flat knife like an arm.
The continuous reduction of stone waste made the entire stone sculpture more prominent. When the sun went down, the flat knife in Linley's hand finally stopped.
"call!"
Linley let out a light breath, and threw pieces of the stone into the air. The entire stone sculpture was fully revealed. He saw a mouse nearly half a meter long standing in front of Linley. 'Besides' screaming.
From start to finish, in one go!
"What a wonderful feeling." Only at this moment did Linley realize that his mental power had actually improved a lot.
And Delink Cowart, who was wearing a moon-white robe, was smiling beside him: "Linley, from today onwards, you are barely getting started. You also feel that wonderful feeling, right? But your works can only be regarded as It looks like it can only be placed in the general exhibition hall of the Proux Guild Hall, and taking it out would be a disgrace to me, and it would be destroyed.”
"Yes, Grandpa Delin."
The flat knife in Lin Lei's hand flickered several times in a row, and the original stone carving was cut into more than a dozen pieces. This year, Lin Lei was considered a beginner in stone carving skills.
And this year, Linley was thirteen years old!
Day after day, year after year.
Linley's spiritual power progressed much faster after he started the stone carving skills. To be precise, Linley became a second-level magician when he was nine and a half years old, and became a third-level magician when he was eleven. And at the age of thirteen, he became a fourth-level magician!
The higher the level of the magician, the more difficult it is. Logically, it would take at least three years for Linley to go from a fourth-level magician to a fifth-level magician.
But the fact is—
In the autumn of 9996 of the Yulan calendar, when Lin Lei was fourteen and a half years old, he reached the fifth-level magician. It only took a year and a half to go from a fourth-level magician to a fifth-level magician. It is shorter than the third to fourth level.
This is the role of the flat knife genre carving!
…
The Yulan calendar was in the spring of 9997, which was Linley's seventh year at Ernst College. Linley was fifteen years old this year.
Lin Lei, dressed in a sky blue robe, was walking on the road of Ernst College. Lin Lei still had a cute little shadow mouse 'Beibei' standing on his shoulders. Even after six or seven years, the little shadow mouse 'Bebe' still didn't have the slightest size. Change.
Today's Lin Lei is 1.8 meters tall, and his whole body naturally has a calm aura. The earth element and wind element are constantly transforming his body, Lin Lei's uninterrupted cultivation, and the unique advantages of the dragon blood warrior blood make Lin Lei Has the strength of a fourth-level warrior.
Hundreds of pounds of boulders can be lifted easily, and a single punch can smash stones.
The study of the flat sword style also enabled Linley to continuously improve his spiritual power since he was thirteen years old.
At the beginning of 9997 of the Yulan calendar, Linley entered the fifth grade of Ernst College, the same grade as the first genius of the academy, 'Dixie'. It took Dixie three years to go from a fourth-level magician to a fifth-level magician. A magician, but from a fifth-level magician to a sixth-level magician, he has never been able to cross it.
Fifteen years old, fifth-level magician!
Linley and Dixie can indeed be regarded as perverted characters, but in the minds of most people, Linley is even more perverted. After all, from the test time of the academy, it seems that Linley took only one year to go from a fourth-level magician to a fifth-level magician. division.
Linley's astonishing speed of progress surprised everyone.
Together, Linley and Dixie were recognized by the academy as the 'two peerless geniuses of Ernst Academy'.
"Look, it's Lin Lei. The year before last, he reached the fourth-level magician. Last year, he reached the fifth-level magician. It's only one year! It's amazing. I estimate that Linley will reach the sixth-level magician earlier than Dixie. "
"Lin Lei is doing penance in the back mountain every day. I heard that Dixie has also gone to the back mountain for penance recently. It is estimated that he was also influenced by Lin Lei."
"It's very possible that with Linley's terrifying progress, he might even replace Dixie as the first genius of our Ernst Academy."
…
On the road, many people saw Linley and whispered to each other. The two geniuses recognized by Ernst College were surrounded and talked about wherever they went. However, even though Linley was strong, he still did not participate in any age group competition.
"genius?" lei laughed at himself.
Linley never thought of himself as a genius. His strength was his almost uninterrupted penance every day, his six years of perseverance in the academy, and the careful teaching of Grandpa Delin. This is what we have achieved today.
"However, my strength is still no match for Bei Bei." Linley looked at Bei Bei next to him, "Babe, what level have you reached now?"
"Squeak~~" Beibei grinned at Linley, and exchanged his soul, "I don't know, I haven't competed with other beasts. Anyway, you're not my opponent, quack~~" Beibei was proud of it. very.
Not caring at all about the adoring gazes and chatter of the people around him, Linley calmly walked out of the back door of Ernst College, entered the back mountain, and began the same penance as before. Six years of ascetic practice was the reason for Linley's success.
Linley scurried through the forest in a fast and graceful manner, and the little shadow mouse 'Bebe' also chatted with Linley through soul exchanges: "Boss Lin, when are we going to conduct the Demon Beast Forest Trial, you have all reached the fifth-level magician. Now, you can also start the trial, and I, Beibei, can also show off my skills."
"No hurry." Linley's answer was very brief.
"It's really sad. I'm a monster, but I've never been to the forest of monsters. It's really sad." Six years later, Bei Bei's expressive ability has become stronger and stronger.
"Quiet, if you are noisy again, I won't help you roast meat today." As soon as Linley said those words, Beibei immediately shut up and said nothing.
When Linley was walking through the mountains and forests, Dering Cowart was also floating beside him. Looking at Linley, Dering Cowart was also very relieved.
"Linley." Dering Cowart suddenly said.
Linley turned his head, looked at Delin Cowart, smiled, and exchanged souls with each other and said, "Grandpa Delin, what's the matter?"
Dering Cowart smiled and said, "According to your recent works, I can officially tell you that your stone carving skills have already entered the palace."
Linley's eyes lit up.
My grandfather Delin has a strange temper, that is, stone sculptures that do not meet the standard will be destroyed even if they are completed. According to Delin Cowart's words: "If such a work is placed in the world, it will be lost to our flat knife genre. face, and lose the face of my dignified sanctuary magister."
Because of this, Linley had to destroy works that could be sold for money.
"Just entering the hall? Grandpa Delin, what do you mean?" Linley looked at Delin Cowart in surprise.
Delin Cowart nodded happily and said, "Yes, from today onwards, your stone sculptures do not need to be destroyed after they are completed, and they are qualified to survive. Of course, you can also send your works to the Proux Club for sale. Go make a name for our flat sword genre and get some gold along the way."
