A stinky cultivator has arrived in the magic world.

Chapter 43 Physical Strength

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Lorne has been diligently cultivating in his dormitory these past few days, absorbing spiritual energy without ever slacking off.

As expected of the "Dawn's First Light Guiding Spirit Technique," which is described in the cultivation guide as a top-tier Qi cultivation method, with the help of the Spirit Gathering Pearl to increase the concentration of spiritual energy, Lorne felt his cultivation level increasing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He has only been a Qi Refining cultivator for about seven days, but the concentration of spiritual energy in the Qi vortex in his dantian is already far beyond what it was at the beginning. It is radiant and colorful, and it is whistling like the wind. In the shadows, it has already shown some of the charm of the "sea".

Although the cultivation guide didn't offer any hints, Lorne estimated that his early Qi Refining cultivation was already completely stable, and he was probably not far from reaching the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

Perhaps this is also due to my being a being with one of the Five Elements spiritual roots...

In addition, he felt that his strength and speed had also increased significantly.

The dantian is the place where life originates. When cultivators gather spiritual energy in the dantian, their life essence is naturally nourished. Now he feels energetic and vigorous, and he will not feel tired even if he does not sleep for three days and three nights.

In fact, he hadn't slept for the past three days, focusing entirely on his cultivation, but he never felt tired.

On this day, the dormitory door was banged on repeatedly.

"Hurry, hurry, you lazybones Lorne! Today is Professor Sylvie's Potions class, and the Wood Elemental Tower is in the South Ring, which is quite far from here. We need to get there quickly!"

Viola pulled Lorne out of the dormitory and urged him on repeatedly.

The dormitory area is located in the western ring of the floating island city, while the wooden elemental tower is in the southern ring. Before they were enlightened, it would probably have taken them a whole day to walk between them.

Even though most of the new students have already received their initial enlightenment and can manipulate magical elements to slightly increase their speed, it still takes them quite a while to catch up. If they wake up late and miss the deadline, they will definitely be late.

"What kind of logic is this? Why can girls come into the boys' dorms whenever they want, but boys can't go into the girls' dorms...?"

Lorne stopped his cultivation in protest.

Every time Viola came to the boys' dormitory to see him, she acted like she was coming home. He also tried to wander around the girls' dormitory area, but he was always chased away by the senior student who was also a part-time administrator, from a distance.

When will gender equality be truly achieved?

Stepping out of the dormitory and onto Silver Avenue, bathed in the rising sun, Lorne took a deep breath.

After several days of training, he felt that he was no longer the same as before. He felt refreshed, relaxed, and full of energy. He even wanted to spar with the giant boy and test his strength.

Lorne glanced to the left and right a few times:

"Where's Tormont?"

"He was afraid of being late, so he set off for the South Ring Road last night," Viola said.

"oh."

Although Professor Sylvie is gentle, she doesn't like students who are late, so many students leave very early, and now you can see hurried figures everywhere.

"Hey, isn't this our alchemy genius? What, walking to class? From West Ring Road to South Ring Road, it'll probably take until noon to walk there."

Just then, a mocking voice came from not far away.

Looking up, I saw two or three haughty-looking teenagers standing not far away, looking down at me with mocking smiles.

Lorne frowned slightly, recognizing these people as the same boy who had been with Chryseth a few days ago, and also members of that so-called self-governing association.

These past few days, he could sense the intentional or unintentional malice from these aristocratic students. At first, he thought it was just teenage jealousy, but three days ago in the cafeteria, they even invited senior students from the third year to target him. This was no longer like a grudge between classmates.

After all, they were all the same age. Even if they had some dissatisfaction with him, they wouldn't go so far as to hire a group of mid-level mages to bully a magic apprentice like him who had no background.

He didn't want any trouble right now, so after glancing at them, he was about to leave when one of the boys blocked his way, arrogantly saying:

"You dare glare at us? What grievance are you harboring?"

Another person stepped forward and blocked Lorne's path:

"Disrespecting us is disrespecting the self-governing association. You want to leave without an apology? Did you get our permission?"

Viola stared at them in disbelief, never expecting these guys to be so shameless. They were the ones who had run into them, yet now they were turning around and trying to cause trouble for Lorne.

"Is this how your family teaches you to bully your classmates?!"

Although Viola was also a magic apprentice, she had a level 10 mental affinity and was also skilled in water element. Her magical proficiency was unmatched among the freshmen of her year. She directly stood in front of Lorne, holding her wand in her hand. With a few light taps, two balls of blue light condensed from the tips of her wands and flew out, hitting the two people blocking her way and pushing them aside.

They haven't learned any specific magic yet; this ball of light is just the power inherent in the wand itself, capable of gathering and unleashing magic power. It doesn't have much power, but it still caused the two boys pain.

One of them glared at Viola, drew his wand, and said unfriendly:

"Viola, are you going to go against us for this country bumpkin?"

At this moment, several more people surrounded them. Some of the students around them instinctively stepped back. They clearly recognized these people; their robes were of exceptional quality, and they looked much better, obviously pampered individuals.

They surrounded the two of them, and the boy who had been knocked away by Viola earlier sneered:

"Viola, for the sake of your family, we won't hold it against you for striking first. But this guy is disrespectful to us, so you'd better not get involved, or you might not be able to attend classes for the next few months."

"You!" Viola glared angrily.

At this moment, she realized something. These guys were stopping them like this probably to suppress Lorne.

Lorne stepped forward and stopped Viola:

"The grudges between people really do come out of nowhere. Sometimes hatred just falls from the sky. There's no point in arguing with them; it's just a waste of time."

After saying that, he stepped forward and pushed aside the people blocking his way. His physical body had been greatly improved recently due to the nourishment of spiritual energy. His blood was boiling and he was far superior to that of a magician. At this moment, he just casually made a move, and the two boys felt as if they had been hit by a giant elephant. They were sent flying and fell to the ground.

The remaining few were also kicked away one by one by Lorne. In no time, several figures were rolling around and groaning in pain at his feet. The once arrogant group was now in a sorry state.

The students watching were astonished by Lorne's appearance. They never expected that he, who seemed so ordinary, would have such excellent physical abilities. They didn't even see him use any magic; he just pushed his hands and feet, and those members of the student council fell to the ground.

Are they trying to scam me? Or has Lorne secretly practiced some kind of magic?

Viola also looked at Lorne in surprise, her mouth agape:

"You don't happen to have giant blood too, do you?"
