Ever since the incident at the nine towers plaza, Li Fire Sect had gradually returned to its normal life.
Everything had been so ordinary.
Within the confinement room, the sunlight shone through the small window, shining on Lin Lei's handsome face.
Every day, Lin Lei would silently work hard to become stronger.
During these peaceful years, Lin Lei's power had increased by leaps and bounds.
Within the solitary confinement room, no one noticed him. Aside from Alice and James, who would occasionally come and visit Lin Lei, Lin Lei spent most of his time alone.
It couldn't be said that. After all, there was a little white tiger by Lin Lei's side.
In just a year, that little white tiger had grown from the size of half an arm to the size of an arm. After that, she seemed to have reached her limit, and no longer grew any larger.
The name of the little white tiger was known by Lin Lei as the jingle cat.
It was clearly a tiger, but it could still be considered a feline. It was just Lin Lei's bad taste.
Ever since Lin Lei had discovered that whenever he called this little tiger a little kitten, this little white tiger would be extremely unhappy.
The sort of unhappiness was no different from a human's. It was extremely anthropomorphic.
But the more unhappy the little white tiger was, the happier Lin Lei would be.
Every day, aside from training, he would tease this little tiger.
"Come, come, come, little kitten. Let me see if you have grown a p*nis today."
Gradually, the little white tiger went from being mad at first, to furious, to finally numb.
Roughly a month later, Natasha returned with the core disciples who had participated in the convention. From the looks on their faces, one could tell that they definitely hadn't performed well in the convention.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, another year passed.
To enchanter, a year was nothing at all.
In fact, for even more powerful existences, it was calculated in units of ten years.
And in this one year, Lin Lei had finally relied on his daily training to successfully break through to the enchanter level.
And now, he had reached the level of a grand enchanter of the fourth rank!
It could be said that within Li Fire Sect, even if Roderick came, he wouldn't be a match for Lin Lei.
After all, as the leader of Li Fire Sect, Roderick was merely a peak ninth rank enchanter.
As long as Lin Lei was willing to reveal his identity, Li Fire Sect would be able to instantly rise from a second-rate power within the Empire to the first-rate power!
After all, according to the rules of the Beilageluoya Empire, it only needed to have an expert of the grand enchanter level within it in order for a power to rise to first-rate power.
Grand enchanter, within the entire Empire, were enough to become the overlords of a region!
Above grand enchanter, there would be a sage!
Aside from the imperial family and the other major enchanter clans, there was no other sage in the Beigeluoya Empire!
After a year of training, Lin Lei's aura had become more and more reserved.
His entire aura had changed from one that was extremely sharp when he didn't rely on his concealment technique to one that was incomparably calm.
This was especially so for Lin Lei's eyes. That deep and mysterious feeling in his eyes was like a black hole, possessing an extremely powerful attractive force.
It caused one to be unable to control themselves and become intoxicated.
But of course, right now, aside from Lin Lei himself, no one knew of Lin Lei's true power.
But of course, that was if the little white tiger by his side didn't count.
"This b*stard's training speed is becoming increasingly terrifying..."
The little white tiger was currently lying on top of a pile of weeds, quietly watching Lin Lei train.
She had personally witnessed how Lin Lei had broken through from the eighth rank to become a grand enchanter of the fourth rank in just a year.
This speed could be said to be world-shaking!
Even if it was an ancient and secretive sect, upon hearing Lin Lei's training speed, they would most likely be incomparably shocked.
Even though the little white tiger was a witness to Lin Lei's training, at this moment, she still felt somewhat surreal.
"This human not only was the most innately talented since ancient times, he is also extremely hard-working."
The little white tiger's feelings were rather complicated.
Given her status, how could she not have seen geniuses before.
But of course, compared to Lin Lei, those geniuses were simply trash.
But those so-called geniuses didn't even have a thousandth of Lin Lei's effort.
For an entire year, Lin Lei had been training hard in the solitary confinement room. Aside from James and Alice, who would occasionally come over, he didn't interact with anyone else at all.
Just this loneliness alone was enough to make countless geniuses turn their backs!
Every day, day after day, year after year, he trained in the basics of magic. Who would be able to do that?!
Even though the little white tiger had a noble status, she truly began to admire Lin Lei's personality at that moment.
"If one day this human walks out of this place, most likely the entire continent will be swept away by his existence!"
The little white tiger thought to herself.
She was already impatient, wanting to see that day come!
At this moment, far away in the south of the Empire, at the edge of the coastline.
"Welcome back, sect leader!"
A group of skinny black-clothed people knelt on the beach, muttering obscure words.
In the distance, a middle-aged man dressed in a black long robe flew over from the horizon of the ocean.
The man had long scarlet hair and a heart-shaped pendant on his chest.
There was not the slightest magic fluctuation on his body. If he did not fly over from the other side of the sea, everyone would have thought that he was just an ordinary person!
One second ago, the man was still a hundred kilometers away. The next moment, he appeared in front of the many skinny black-clothed people.
Countless people fought with their heads to the ground as they spoke in unison, "Greetings to the Prince!"
