Chapter 366 Body Honing Wizard Mantra

After finding out that the savage Magical Beasts on the outskirts of the forest had been vanquished by the Lord, the people excitedly spread the news. At first, many people were doubtful. But as the number of Hunters in the forest grew and as the soldiers that were preparing to face the great enemy left the battlements, the news was verified.

Very quickly, the news of Jaboli triumphing over the Magical Beasts spread. Many merchants and townsfolk who had fled came rushing back when they heard the news. It even attracted floods of people. There were powerful merchants, down-and-out Troops and adventurers, refugees who had a hard life…They each harbored their own hopes of traveling the great distance to Jaboli!

Rich resources like sulfur, tree sap, ores, an endless supply of Magical Beasts, a strong army, and taxes that were lower than they were in other Domains…

All of these were the ultimate attractions to the merchants looking for profit. Every one of the nine big Merchant Associations on the Tailun Continent had a branch in the Magical Beast Realm. After getting a taste of the benefits that the Magical Beasts Realm had to offer, no one would want to miss out on the up-and-coming city of Jaboli.

Before the crisis of the Magical Beasts attacking Jaboli was resolved, a few of the big Merchant Associations had been hesitant. But after this crisis, they were filled with confidence about the powerful Magical Beasts Realm. No one could resist the opportunity!

Back then, because it had been the first to make contact with Yang Ling out of the nine Merchant Associations, the Aragon Merchant Team had landed a contract that made the others go green with envy. The open-air sulfur mine in the Taildon Valley had made them a fortune. Being apart of the construction and management of the Sallero Harbor was making them even more money quickly.

In the Magical Beasts Realm, apart from Harribell's Boulade Merchant's Association, the Aragon Merchant Team benefited the most. After witnessing the strategy and success of the Aragon Merchant Team, the other Merchant Associations would naturally not let go of an opportunity to be the first in line.

The nine big Merchant Associations rushed to be stationed in Jaboli. Following their lead, various Merchant Associations vied to enter the market, bringing a flood of capital and a steady stream of people.

Every day, outside the Lord's Manor, the merchants who wanted to discuss issues or the possibility of cooperation were never-ending. There was an endless stream of horses and carriages. Luxury carriages, servants in luxury dress, powerful guards…The long queue became a unique scenery of Jaboli.

Yuna, who was in charge of home affairs, was doing a superb job. Tanzimat, the Dogman Strategist, had also successfully completed his mission, directing the soldiers to complete the construction of the inner city in advance. Acting on Yang Ling's command, he recruited many laborers in Jaboli to mine giant rocks nearby and began to build the big, wide-open outer city.

After finding out about the Lord's plans, the townspeople eagerly joined the building army, enthusiastically participating in the building of their home. They joined not only for the sake of a safe and prosperous home but also for the hefty salary that Yuna was providing.

Yuna was calculative when discussing business with the merchants in order to get the best benefits for the domain. But when giving the wages to the townspeople, she was so generous that the townspeople who were struggling to get by were beyond grateful.

While the building of Jaboli vigorously continued, good news came from Ashnamov. Under the leadership of the guide, the exploration team had officially opened the sea route from the Magical Beasts Realm, passing through Jaboli and sailing to big human cities like Bavaria and Moston. They had also drawn up the map of many of the seas and recorded the sights and sounds of the places along the way.

On top of that, the female captain Margaret had also sent good news. Using the Water of the Spring of Life that could cure the Crimson poison, she turned a few strong and powerful pirate captains and made an agreement with them to fight against the cruel and cunning One-eyed Dragon.

With these pirates secretly working with them, all of the ships that hung the Five-clawed Golden Dragon Flag of the Magical Beasts Realm traveled freely on the high seas. Even a simple raft with the flag would gain the pirates' respect!

After getting many pieces of good news, Yang Ling was able to practice his cultivation in the valley without worry.

Like the Terras Forest, the Amazon Forest had an endless supply of energy. In the day, he could absorb great amounts of the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth. At night, he could absorb a huge amount of Astral Energy.

After absorbing an immense amount of energy, he finally broke through the Body Honing Wizard Mantra bottleneck and reached a new level. Even without casting the Physical Protection Wizard Power, no ordinary weapon would be able to nick his skin. If an ordinary arrow were to be shot at him, it would rebound back as if it hit a layer of steel.

After training for a long time with the Dark Dragon King, the so-called strongest Magical Beast of close physical combat in the Continent, Yang Ling's close combat and physical defense had improved in leaps and bounds. When they first started training, Yang Ling had to retreat whenever the Dark Dragon King cast Dragon Realm.

Since Yang Ling had broken through the bottleneck of the Body Honing Wizard Mantra together with his ultrasonic speed, strong physical power, and understanding of the Energy Realm, he had the ability to battle the Dark Dragon King in the Dragon Realm. They were locked in battle and he even managed to gain the upper hand at times! He had improved so rapidly and the battle was so thrilling that the Flying Dragon King Seylius, watching at the sidelines, felt embarrassed!

If he continued training, how powerful could his physical strength become?

After defeating the Dark Dragon King until it was lying on the ground, Yang Ling was thrilled, yet perplexed. There were seven types of traditional Wizardry. From Blood Wizard, Spirit Wizard, Earth Wizard, Heaven Wizard, Divine Wizard, Soul Wizard to Wizard Deity, each level was higher than the other. Every time there was a breakthrough, one's power would grow a few times over and sometimes even a few dozen times over!

But there was no such distinction for the Body Honing Wizard Mantra. As long as he kept practicing and continuously broke through, his physical strength would get stronger and stronger. No one knew what level one could reach if he were to continue training without stopping!

Endless practicing and endless breaking through...According to the Stele, this was the powerful and terrifying part of a top-level Wizard Warrior!

In ancient times, the fierce Wizard Tribe fought with the people and with heaven and earth. Finally, they met with unprecedented peril. The mountains split, the earth cracked, and the rivers and seas were turned upside down. They were faced with an extremely deplorable environment. After tens of thousands of years, the powerful yet mysterious Wizard Body Honing Mantra was then passed down to allow a Wizard Warrior to level up limitlessly.

Even though theoretically, according to the Stele, one could keep leveling without limit, however when it reached a more advanced stage the speed of leveling would get slower and slower. One would also encounter various unknown difficulties and dangers.

Would it be a blessing or a curse to let the Dark Dragon King and Flying Dragon King Seylius practice the Wizard Body Honing Mantra?

At first, after he had successfully broken through to the next level, he had intended to pass the Wizard Body Honing Mantra to high-level Magical Beasts in the close physical combat category, like the Dark Dragon King and Flying Dragon King. But once he understood that there were many unknown difficulties and dangers at the more advanced stage of the Wizard Body Honing Mantra, he could not help but hesitate.

The Wizard spells on the Stele might be powerful, but if anything were to happen, the rebound effect would also be very terrifying. Many of the spells on it were either too vaguely worded or not described in detail. It was unclear if it was incomplete from the start or if someone had erased parts of it. Without being certain, Yang Ling also did not dare to try them lightly!

"Fatso, damn fatso, come here at once!"

"Aye, be gentle. My Lady, be gentle. You're going to twist my ears off!"

…

Just as Yang Ling was silently hesitating, faint voices were heard from outside the valley. They were voices of a man and a woman.

Fatso?

Hearing the familiar exaggerated groan of agony, Yang Ling had a sudden thought. He recalled the Dragon Slaying Troop Team that went together with him into the Montson Forest. After teleporting over to take a look, he confirmed that it was indeed old friends he had not seen in a long time. Fatso Hans, whose whole body was covered in fat and the self-proclaimed Team Leader Lia, were arguing intensely. Three others, Archer Lobina, Axeman Maputo and the Knight Halalei were standing at the side and watching them.

Looking at Fatso with his big perky butt, acting like he was in a lot of pain and was pitiful, Yang Ling smiled and strode out. "Hehe, twist his ear to death. His ear can be twisted off to be accompanied with beer!"

"Yuri…"

"His Lordship…"

…

Looking at the smiling Yang Ling striding out, Fatso, Lia and the gang were surprised. They did not expect to encounter him here. At that moment, a few of them called him Yuri and others called him His Lordship!

Back then, Yang Ling became famous after a battle at Montson Royal Palace. The news of him killing the Santiago Sword Saint caused a sensation. The story of him going a thousand miles on a horse and overcoming all of the obstacles along the way spread through Monston's streets. Fatso, Lia, and the gang found out Yang Ling's true identity through various sources very quickly.

"Hehe, welcome the Dragon Slaying Troop Team to our humble Jaboli. Let me know if there's anything you need. You can call me Yang Ling or Yuri in the future. There's no need to address me by titles like 'Lord' or 'His Lordship'!" Yang Ling smiled and lightly patted Fatso's big beer belly, "Fatso, how many months along?"

"Oh, about… About a year and a half!"

Seeing the Yang Ling that used to hide in the horse carriage with him to drink and brag, and who used to tease Lia about her chest that was as flat as the calm sea, and thinking of his status and power now, Fatso could not react in time and thought that Yang Ling was asking how long it had been since they had seen each other.

"Hehe, soon. Remember to treat the brothers to a few drinks after you give birth!" Seeing that Fatso had not wised up to the situation yet and stupidly answered 'about a year and a half', Yang Ling smiled mysteriously and winked at Lia, who was at his side. He then said, "But Fatso, even though you have a big enough butt, what can you do if you have a difficult birth? And which irresponsible person got you pregnant? Is it the child's dad or the child's mom?"

Difficult birth?

Hearing what Yang Ling said and looking at the smile on his face, Lia, Halalei and the gang suddenly realized what Yang Ling meant. They roared with laughter. Lia, who was always arguing with Fatso, even laughed until tears streamed down her face.

"Damn Fatso, is it a boy or girl? Tell us the truth!"

"Tsk tsk, such a big butt and round tummy. It must be a girl!"

"Such a poor thing, to get a mom that is fatter than a Sharo Pig!"

…

After catching on to the situation, looking at his big belly which was the conversation among everyone and how they were all enjoying the chat with smiles on their faces, poor Fatso yelped and lunged at Yang Ling in revenge. Unfortunately, he missed Yang Ling every time. After chasing him around for half the day, Fatso was very tired but still could not catch Yang Ling!
