Dusk slowly approached, and the square was still bustling with noise and excitement.
"This year's Yuzhou City Magic Secondary School enrollment test is over. First, congratulations to the students who have successfully passed. Students who have not passed are also not discouraged."
"You are still young and have a lot of time to cultivate. I believe that your future will not be bad." Fan Xiao had already finished his speech as soon as the time for the enrollment ended.
"The students who passed will gather here tomorrow morning. You can arrange the rest of your time." He was very satisfied with the talent of this year's students, especially Zhao Qingyun and Li Kong. These two children both had potential.
Fan Xiao secretly decided that he must give these two children a chance to enter that place.
After saying that, Fan Xiao turned around and walked towards Yuzhou City Magic Secondary School.
Seeing that the inspector had already left, the people in the square also dispersed.
"Brat Kong, come with me." Liu Kuilin walked out and waved at Li Kong.
Li Kong immediately walked towards the old man. After tonight, the old man would definitely leave and Li Kong would stay here to study for three years.
"I'm leaving tomorrow. Are you going to take a walk with me tonight?" Looking at the young man walking over, Liu Kuilin tilted his head to ask for Li Kong's opinion.
"Okay." Li Kong nodded without saying anything else.
Yuzhou City's night was not as quiet as Yangzhou City's. On the contrary, the night here was also crowded. It seemed to be the noisy reception of the day. The high-rise buildings were lit with dazzling lights. The pedestrians and vehicles were telling the prosperity of this first-tier city.
Li Kong, who was quietly accompanying the old man on the bustling street, asked with some sadness, "Master, where do you plan to go after today?"
"You don't know where I am going. You will know when you grow up." The old man smiled.
"It's the same words again. Do you always use this to brush me off?" Li Kong turned his head to the side and pouted his lips as he complained.
"Hahaha." The old man couldn't help but laugh when he saw Li Kong's cute appearance, "You little brat, I have something to give you."
"What is it?"
The old man moved his hand and an ancient ring-shaped pendant appeared in the old man's palm. "This is a space storage device. It can store things. In the future, if you have any precious items, you can put them inside." The old man explained with a smile as he put the pendant on Li Kong.
"There is actually such a powerful thing. Why haven't I heard of it before?" He played with the ring around his neck and asked with his eyes wide open and a face full of disbelief.
"Of course you haven't heard of it. The space storage device is an extremely rare item. Only a small number of space mages know how to forge it. Whether the technique has been passed down or not is still unknown."
"Therefore, if people find out that you have a space storage device, they will definitely scheme to steal it. Space storage device is too rare. You have to pay more attention to the people around you. No matter how close you are to them, you can't reveal your secret to them. The more people know about you, the more dangerous it will be." The old man flicked Li Kong's forehead and warned kindly.
"I've already put the Formula of Five Elements in there for you. If you have time, study it yourself."
Looking at the round pendant on his neck, Li Kong was a little confused about how to use it. He looked at the old man with a puzzled face.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong?" Looking at the young man's puzzled eyes, the old man was also a little confused. He rubbed Li Kong's head and asked.
"Master, you still haven't told me how to use this space storage device." Li Kong blushed as he brushed his hair that had been messed up by the old man.
"Oh, how did I forget about this?"
The old man laughed awkwardly.
"As long as you continuously inject your elements into it, it will leave your mark."
"When you want to take out the things inside, inject the elements again and concentrate your thoughts on the items you take."
According to what the old man had said, Li Kong continuously injected the elements into the ring. After a while, a faint flame mark appeared on the ring. Then, Li Kong injected a bit of the elements into the ring. He thought about the Formula of Five Elements in his mind. Then, an ancient book appeared in Li Kong's hand.
"Oh!" Li Kong exclaimed and immediately put the book away. Then, he immediately tilted his head and looked around vigilantly. When he saw that no one had noticed him, he patted his chest with an expression of having just survived a disaster.
Seeing Li Kong's actions, the old man couldn't help but smile. "Although Li Kong was strong inside, he was still just a child. How good would it be if he could always be like this?" The old man thought.
"Alright, I've already told you the method. Be more careful in the future. Don't think about how rash you were just now. If someone sees you, it will be troublesome."
Liu Kuilin pulled Li Kong into a noodle shop, asked for two bowls of plain noodle, and ate with Li Kong.
After eating, the old man and Li Kong continued to wander aimlessly on the street. During this time, the old man and Li Kong talked about many magic essentials, as well as countless reminders.
Li Kong did not mind the old man being long-winded, because he knew that the old man did not want him to suffer in this complicated world.
He had always remembered the old man's warning in his heart and would never forget it.
They casually moved into a hotel. After entering the room, the old man made a strange seal and said seriously, "I'll tell you something, Brat Kong."
Seeing the old man's serious expression, Li Kong immediately perked up and listened carefully.
"Weapons are something that many mages can use. When combined with a weapon, a mage can release a lot of powerful magic skills. Therefore, when a mage reaches the Third Grade, he will choose the weapon he likes to enhance his strength. Of course, there are also a lot of people who do not like weapons, so this is all up to their preferences. I have already chosen your weapon for you."
Soon after, a silvery-white spear appeared on the magical storage device on Li Kong's chest and then the old man handed it over to Li Kong.
Li Kong's face turned red as he took the long spear that was constantly flashing with white light from the old man's hand.
Reaching out to help Li Kong hold it, the old man smiled and said, "This long spear is called the Space-splitting Spear. It is a space system spear. In the future, you need to use it to help you fight and kill enemies. I have sealed most of its energy. First, it can prevent others from spying on you. Second, it can also help you sense the space elements."
"When you encounter an unstoppable danger, you can try to undo part of the seal. Don't undo it all at once. Otherwise, the powerful energy of the Space-splitting Spear will instantly tear you apart. You have to use it carefully." The old man pointed at Li Kong's finger and said, "You need to use your blood to nourish it. Only then can it be used by you."
Li Kong seemed to understand the old man's words, "Master, how should I nourish this Space-splitting Spear with my blood?"
"Right now, you are still young. You only need to drip a drop of the blood from your index finger on the tip of the spear from time to time. You can do it constantly for a long period of time.
After saying that, the old man pulled Li Kong's palm and gently tapped his index finger. Immediately, Li Kong felt a sharp pain in his index finger and a drop of blood fell on the tip of the Space-splitting Spear.
A miraculous scene occurred. Li Kong's blood slowly seeped into the Space-splitting Spear.
This time, Li Kong clearly felt that the long spear in his hand had become much lighter. He could freely wave it, not like the weight that he could not even move it with all his strength just now.
"In the future, you will carry this Space-splitting Spear with you. This way, it will be more convenient for you to sense the space elements. You don't have to worry that someone will be able to see through the mysteries of the spear."
Looking at the boy who was playing the Space-splitting Spear, the old man moved his slightly sore arms, sat on the hotel bed and said, "Other than this Space-splitting Spear, there is another thing I want to tell you. There is an armor in your body. I will help you take it out and put it into the space storage device. When you become a Fourth Grade mage, the armor and the Space-splitting Spear in your space storage device will be put into your dantian. At that time, you can use your dantian to nourish them.
Although it is very difficult for you to stimulate all of its power with your strength, you can stimulate a part of its power when you reach the Third Grade.
With the current situation, it should be able to help you avoid 25 of the damage. The further you go, the stronger the armor will become.
Hearing the old man's narration, Li Kong was suddenly in a state of confusion. The information was too much. He found it hard to accept for the moment. How could he have such a powerful armor?
Why didn't he know? A series of questions filled Li Kong's mind.
Before he could ask, the old man said, "These are all external things. You can't always rely on them. The most important thing is that you should be strong. As for what I just said, you will understand when you reach the Third Grade."
Alright, that's all for tonight. Go to bed early. You still have to register at Yuzhou City Magic Secondary School tomorrow.
Not long after the old man finished speaking, he found that Li Kong had already fallen asleep. He carried Li Kong onto the bed and left silently. In the dream, Li Kong seemed to feel something and hugged the quilt tightly. He murmured, "Master, don't go..."
