Chapter 13: A New Breed
Every morning, the young lady would teach Pulman some knowledge and answer his questions. In the afternoon, he would practice and learn the knowledge recorded in the legacy gems himself.
After completing the tasks, she immediately used her 5 lottery chances.
A virtual interface appeared with a large slot machine. As the young lady pulled the lever, countless patterns raced across the screen before finally settling down.
Blue.
Purple.
Gold!
Blue.
Purple.
Finally, the slot machine spat out five virtual small boxes.
Acquired: Formula for the Vitality Potion (Bronze Rank).
Acquired: Manual for crafting White Steel Armor (Silver Rank).
Acquired: Manual for crafting the Sacred Lance (Gold Rank).
Acquired: Formula for the Bubble Potion (Bronze Rank).
Acquired: Formula for the Purification Potion (Silver Rank).
Pretty good luck, indeed. With only a 5% chance of getting gold, she managed to get one. She stored these formulas and manuals in her system. Unfortunately, she currently lacked the raw materials to make them, so she could only wait until later.
Afterward, Lolan Hill spent her free time in a small cabin within the maple forest, where she studied various things. Recently, she had been trying to improve the breeds of certain fruits and crops. One reason was to prepare ingredients for potion formulas, and another was to ensure food for long-term living.
After nearly a month of adjustments, she successfully created three superior breeds.
[Green Tangerine Tree · Special] (Silver Rank): Improved from ordinary tangerine trees, it requires growing in areas with dense Mana. It bears fruit once a year, which can be preserved for a long time, and has the effects of detoxifying and improving physical constitution.
[Red Guava Tree · Special] (Bronze Rank): Improved from ordinary guava trees, it requires growing in areas with relatively dense Mana. It bears fruit twice a year, providing substantial nutrition and aiding in the cultivation of Extraordinary Sequences.
[Wheat] (Black Iron Rank): Improved from ordinary wheat, it can be planted in almost any soil except extremely barren land. It can be planted twice a year, with high yield and rich nutrients.
Very good, this way there will be no worries about food in the future.
Lolan Hill first planted two rows of fruit trees near the Amber Red Maple leaves, then opened up a piece of land in the maple forest for planting wheat.
Actually, she preferred eating rice, but alas, there were no traces of rice in the forest. Wheat flour was also quite versatile, suitable for making noodles, steamed buns, flower rolls, pancakes, spring rolls, dumplings, and more. Thinking about it, she felt very excited.
Three months later, Pulman would have learned most of the theoretical knowledge, leaving only practical application.
“Teacher, I think I’m ready.”
Pulman, after several months of constant feeding by Lolan Hill, had become much stronger compared to before. His angular muscles, honed by training and cultivation of the Extraordinary Sequence, exuded power.
“You think you’re ready again?”
Lolan Hill sat on a tree branch, her fair calves peeking out from under her skirt, gently swaying in the air.
Unfortunately, the youth’s perspective could only go so far. He actually had doubts. Why did the teacher always manage to block him at just the right angle, allowing him to see only her calves, and he had never seen her knees. Was this coincidence?
Pulman’s previous physique was not good, and cultivating the Extraordinary Sequence was also difficult. Lolan Hill hastened the growth of several [Green Tangerine Fruits] (Rare Silver) and let him eat them, which allowed him to cultivate into a War Sequence 1 · Black Armor Squire.
Then, she fed him one [Red Guava] (Rare Bronze) every day to accelerate his cultivation, and he recently reached War Sequence 2 · Black Prison Swordsmen.
The young lady blinked and the system displayed Pulman’s profile.
Name: Pulman
Race: Human (Adaptability 92%)
Identity: None
Status: Healthy (No abnormalities)
Sequence: War Sequence 2 · Black Prison Swordsmen (Overall evaluation: Excellent Black Iron)
Talent:
[Resilience] (Excellent): Possesses excellent willpower and endurance, capable of becoming an excellent warrior.
Ability:
[Iron Bones] (Good): Bones have been strengthened, making them extremely tough and able to withstand greater force. (Resilience +1, originally only Ordinary)
[Black Prison Sword] (Excellent): Makes the blade sharper and inflicts minor soul damage.
Skill: [Crescent Military Sword Art] (Rare): An improved version of the 7.26 edition of the Water Silver Dynasty, though it does not have special effects, it has no significant weaknesses and comprehensively enhances the user’s combat capabilities, adaptability, and compatibility. (Training progress: 30%)
Hmm, not bad. In the era of the Water Silver Dynasty, he could serve as a squad leader in the lowest auxiliary legion.
Once he completes the training of the Crescent Military Sword Art, he might advance further.
Although they are both Sequence 2, the overall evaluation given by the system to Pulman and Lolan Hill differs greatly.
Lolan Hill is a perfect Silver Rank, while Pulman is an Excellent Black Iron Rank, with a big gap of Bronze Rank in between.
“Walk east for 23 kilometers, and there is a Dragon Blood Bat. Kill it, and you’ll have passed.”
The young lady tossed Pulman a green fruit and continued, “That bat is poisonous. If you get poisoned, you can eat this to detoxify. But this [Green Tangerine Fruit], I’ve already given you before, and you know it can improve your constitution. Eating it during advancement is even better.”
“If you can guarantee not to get poisoned while defeating that bat, this fruit will be your reward, which will greatly help you in future advancements.”
“Let me see your learning achievements, Pulman.”
“No problem, Teacher. Just watch.”
Pulman, after all, was still a youth, eager to show off his strength in front of the young lady, proving his uniqueness.
With that, he packed a small amount of food, picked up his Obsidian Sword, and headed east.
Speaking of the sword, since smelting iron in the forest was too troublesome, Lolan Hill simply took a large piece of obsidian, cut it into a sword, and let Pulman use and practice with it.
She wrapped the handle with cloth to prevent cutting hands, and he sharpened the blade himself every day, making it extremely sharp.
Watching Pulman’s silhouette gradually disappear into the forest, Lolan Hill lightly leaped from the tree branch, starting with her toes. A transparent sphere of airflow enveloped her entire body, then carried her up into the sky, overlooking the vast mountains and forests below.
The Tisilan Mountains were a branch of the Sighing Mountains in the central part of the continent, which divided the Ivalcsea continent into eastern and western parts.
Walking across the Sighing Mountains required passing through the central Emenas, a wide river valley connecting the east and west. This river was also the largest economic lifeline of the continent, with water transport linking the nations of the east and west.
If one didn’t take the Emenas route, travel between the east and west could only be done by sea or through the southern Golden Plain of the Sighing Mountains, which was also an important production area of the Water Silver Dynasty in the past.
Lolan Hill planned to visit Emenas after teaching Pulman, as it should always be a vital economic thoroughfare, with rich information available.
For now, let’s see how this enthusiastic youth fares against his enemy.
