"Teacher still remembers me?" Hearing "Little Roxy," Roxy was extremely delighted. Back when she was young, Bloody Kant had called her that.
"I only ever taught one person magic, of course I remember." Bloody Kant came over to Roxy's side, then pulled her to sit down together.
Roxy immediately hugged Bloody Kant and began complaining about why she had left without saying goodbye.
Bloody Kant smiled gently and lightly patted Roxy's back, as if comforting her.
Roxy sat quietly and told Bloody Kant about everything that had happened since she left the Migurd race village.
Dan Feng stood to the side, silently watching the scene.
He knew the two, separated for so long, must have a lot to say to each other and decided to leave the room for the time being.
He still had an important matter to attend to, so he quietly turned and left the room.
Dan Feng hurried downstairs to the inn's first floor.
He found the innkeeper and briefly explained the situation.
Since this place was relatively remote and far from the noble district, not many people were renting rooms here.
Moreover, the innkeeper said that inns near the noble district had already exceeded normal prices because the Asura King's child had been born, and he had invited people of status and background from all over the world to gather.
Dan Feng nodded after listening, indicating he understood, then unhesitatingly rented two adjacent rooms.
He understood in his heart that Bloody Kant held extraordinary significance for Roxy, and Roxy was the type of person who would put her all into keeping any promise she made.
To allow Roxy to focus on urging Bloody Kant to update her work without worry, Dan Feng decided to temporarily become her neighbor with Roxy, so Roxy could urge updates more effectively.
After completing the room rental, Dan Feng slowly left the building and headed toward the inn they had stayed at yesterday.
He needed to retrieve his and Roxy's belongings and check out.
Dan Feng walked lightly along the street, the midday sunlight falling on him and bringing a touch of warmth.
This sunlight wasn't as harsh as the scorching summer sun of his previous life—the temperature was just right, neither hot nor cold.
He soon arrived at yesterday's inn, entered the room, and began packing his and Roxy's luggage.
He carefully organized everything, making sure nothing was left behind.
Then, carrying the two sets of luggage, he checked out and left the place.
Not long after, back at the new inn, Dan Feng placed his own luggage in one of the newly rented rooms and Roxy's in the other.
Once everything was arranged, Dan Feng let out a sigh of relief.
He then returned once more to Bloody Kant's room.
The two were still chatting at this point; it seemed Roxy had already forgotten her original purpose.
"Ahem, Roxy, there's still the main business we haven't mentioned," Dan Feng said calmly.
Hearing this, Roxy finally remembered why they had come today. Her expression shifted from joyful to serious.
"Teacher! Please update properly! You absolutely cannot give up halfway!" Roxy raised one index finger as she spoke. Paired with her youthful-looking face and the forced serious expression, it was truly quite amusing.
Hearing Roxy say this, Bloody Kant could only sigh helplessly before reluctantly replying, "Writing really takes too much time. It's better to just go have fun."
"No way! You still have two regions you haven't written about. I'll supervise you until it's finished. Until you complete it, I won't leave Ars!" Roxy's eyes burned with determination. Of course her own teacher should be urged to update by herself.
"Sigh, fine." Bloody Kant shook her hair, then pulled out a stack of paper and a quill from under the bed.
"Teacher, are you going to write right now?"
"What else? I'll write a few pages first."
Bloody Kant then began creating.
While Bloody Kant was writing, Dan Feng kept examining the nearby bookshelf, which was filled entirely with handwritten books.
After politely asking Bloody Kant if he could look at them and receiving her permission, Dan Feng pulled one out.
The moment he opened it, he felt this book was no ordinary one.
In his hand was a magic book recording a great many spells' incantations and release principles.
Dan Feng was immediately stunned. It covered every type of magic—Divine Strike Magic, Healing Magic, Detoxification Magic, everything was there.
When Dan Feng saw the creator listed on the first page, he immediately turned his gaze toward the person furiously writing away.
It clearly read: Bloody Count of the Asura Kingdom, Bloody Kant.
"I never expected Bloody Kant to actually hold a noble title. But whether she has one or not has nothing to do with me. What's more important is quickly memorizing these spells," Dan Feng thought to himself. He stopped dwelling on Bloody Kant's title and focused all his attention on the magic book in front of him.
The explanations in the book were extremely clear and concise, and the handwriting was beautifully elegant, pleasing to the eye.
Dan Feng read quickly, and before long he had completely mastered all the knowledge in the book.
Without hesitation, Dan Feng picked up another book.
However, when he opened it, he found it wasn't a magic book but one on the foundational principles of constructing magic circles.
"Magic circles? Could this be what I saw in that basement before?" The scene from the basement immediately surfaced in Dan Feng's mind.
There he had seen a skeleton, summoned by a pure white geometric pattern.
Dan Feng was very interested in that magic circle. He immediately opened the book to see how magic circles were formed in this world.
Yet when he truly began reading, he was overwhelmed by the vast flood of knowledge in the book, leaving him somewhat dizzy.
The book not only contained various complex diagram-drawing techniques but also contract texts, methods for balancing mana, and more—knowledge Dan Feng had never encountered before.
Since he had never systematically studied magic circles, Dan Feng felt as if his head was about to explode from the pain.
Still, he remembered most of the surface-level content; he could experiment with it another day.
During the time he was studying, his progress bar surged upward, successfully reaching thirty-five percent.
[Progress bar has reached thirty-five percent. Obtained Imbibitor Lunae Spear Technique True Transmission (requires self-study and comprehension), All Martial Arts Mastery (requires self-study and comprehension)]
Hearing the system's voice, Dan Feng paused for a moment, then opened his template.
He saw that his progress bar had indeed reached thirty-five percent, and the template now included a new "self-study and comprehension" function.
