Although Locke was unsure of the call’s contents, he was certain that the caller was really loud!
However, Princ.i.p.al Hobrick was even louder!
He shouted directly into the phone, “That b*stard son of yours is asking for trouble! Serves him right!!”
“He actually wants my precious student to become disabled! He even attempted to take his life! A pair of legs is already considered a bargain for him!”
“You’re saying that I didn’t treat your son and daughter like other students?” My G.o.d! You’re right! The moment I saw this pair of siblings, I thought of your annoying face! It’s really disgusting! How could I possibly treat those disgusting things as proper students?”
“Hurry up and bring those two miscreants away! It’s not just me, many students and teachers don’t want to see them again!”
“What? You want to revoke the donation to the Silver District? I’m telling you! No! Because we’ve signed a contract! If I can’t see the rest of the money, we’ll meet at the Federal Supreme Court! Let’s see if you’re unlucky or if I’ll be sentenced!”
“Go to h.e.l.l! You Old b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”
As the phone receiver was put down with a “Clang!!”, Locke, who was on the stairs, could not help but shrink his neck!
‘Oh my G.o.d!’
‘This old man looks gentle and refined, but when he scolds people, he’s really ruthless!’
He was vicious enough, and shameless enough!
Locke could only imagine how crazy this old man was when he was young!
‘Also! How did he learn the details of my battle in such a short time?’
‘Could it be that his Battle Beasts are the same type as Director Diana’s? Does his Battle Beasts have surveillance functions?’
“You’re still here…”
Suddenly, a kind voice scared Locke so much that he almost fell down the stairs!
At this time, Princ.i.p.al Hobrick had returned to his kind demeanor and he asked with a smile.
“Perfect, I’m getting old and a little senile. Help me find a book, I need it for cla.s.s later…”
“Okay!” Locke nodded repeatedly and immediately went back to help.
…
“Thank you, child, there are so many books, I don’t know how to carry so much of them…”
A hunched old man led a young man holding a stack of books down the campus roads.
After seven or eight turns, they arrived at an uninhabited alley.
“John! John! Come out and get the books!”Hobrick shouted towards the depths of the alley.
Soon, a mystical sound could be heard, and a middle-aged man walked out from a s.p.a.ce that seemed to have been torn apart.
“Leave it to me, kid!” The middle-aged man was in high spirits as he took the books in Locke’s hands.
“This is my teaching a.s.sistant, John. When you see him in the future, you must greet him! hehehe…” Hobrick introduced.
Locke nodded at him as a sign of respect.
“I’ve heard of your name. Work hard!”
With that, John and Hobrick entered the torn s.p.a.ce and disappeared without a trace.
“It’s probably from a s.p.a.ce-type Battle Beast…” Locke smiled and knew the type of Battle Beast that John’s teaching a.s.sistant owned.
There were no cla.s.ses for the Diamond Cla.s.s in the afternoon.
After returning to the dormitory, Locke first took a nap until the express delivery arrived.
“Dong Dong Dong…”
When Locke opened the door, he saw a white creature standing in front of him.
‘It has a huge beak! And it’s even wearing the staff uniform of the Battle Beast Treasure Tower!’
There was a basket hanging on its mouth. Inside was the advanced materials that Locke had order!
Locke picked it up, and after cawing twice, it flew away,
in less than two minutes, Locke received a post-sale call from the Chamber of Commerce.
After confirming that the goods had been received correctly, he hung up.
“Their way of delivering is quite creative!”
After saying that, Locke called up his Battle Beast System.
Seeing that everything was complete, Locke immediately fused the materials according to the prompt!
A few minutes later, a fiery red panel appeared in Locke’s mind:
[ Battle Beast Name: Infinite Fire Element ]
[ Battle Beast Grade: Rose Gold Divine Rank ]
[ Battle Beast Attribute: Fire ]
[ Battle Beast Type: Equipment-type Battle Beast ]
[ Battle Beast Skill: Spear Of Fire, Skyfire Illusion1! ]
[ Battle Beast Grade: Level 1, Stage 2! ]
[ New skill ‘Skyfire Illusion’ unlocked: It can release endless flames, transform into any weapon, and its attack power is greatly increased! ]
“Ah… Awesome!”
Locke was overjoyed.
The joy of breaking through from Stage 1 to Stage 2 was hard to hide!
Lil’ White was now Stage 3, Lil’ Flame was Stage 2, and although Lil’ Breeze was still Stage 1, it was Locke’s next upgrade target!
In his excitement, Locke had forgotten to eat.
He quickly opened the book the princ.i.p.al gave him — Incantation!
After deciphering the hideous handwriting, Locke finally understood the steps of the cultivation.
Following the instructions, he immediately began to cultivate.
The meditation process was very similar to the Mana Meditation Technique.
However, the sensation was completely different!
While practicing, Locke could feel his strength depleting!
He could even visualize the appearance of the mana core in his body!
Although it was very small, he was certain! The mana core within his body was getting thicker! The upper limit of his mana had increased by at least one-third!
However, this process lasted for only a little more than two hours before he could not hold on anymore!
He was covered in sweat. After taking a few deep breaths, he stopped.
‘Whoa! I feel that my upper limit of my mana has really increased! That old man is really something! However, the results of this training seem to be related to stamina. The cultivation of my body can not be postponed!’
Locke had discovered a cheat!
After taking a shower, he looked at his watch. It was already 7:30 pm. He had used up a lot of energy, and he was famished.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, he ordered a large number of things and wolfed them down!
Many of the students from the Diamond Cla.s.s were also there. They all came over to curry favor with him.
They helped to pay the bill and treated him to ice cream and drinks.
Some of the girls even sent him love letters!
After defeating Adrian, Locke had now become the most popular person in the Diamond District!
