While having breakfast, Xia asked about Leia's background.

However, Phyllis and the others did not know this, only that Leia's father had traveled abroad for two years and then brought it back from there.

If it weren't for the blood relation, they would have thought she was Leia's father's adopted child.

Unable to get the answer he wanted, Natsumi could only blame the problem on Leia's mother.

After all, the chances of an ordinary person developing the potential to become a wizard are probably not high, otherwise wizards wouldn't have become legends among ordinary people.

Later in the summer, he tried to teach Leia the Wuluo meditation method.

The outcome was unexpected. Leia sensed the presence of the fire element after only one attempt, along with a faint white wind element.

In other words, Leia possesses the power of both wind and fire elements.

Judging from the speed at which they practice meditation, their spiritual talent is also quite strong, and both are at least of medium or higher rank.

Xia Jian thought to himself, "Wow!" Even the way he looked at Leia seemed unfamiliar. Was this still the same little girl who didn't have any knightly talent?

No wonder their background was so strange; it turns out they were waiting here.

Xia Jian squatted down in front of Leia, carefully examining her as she cultivated: 'She's definitely protagonist material; her future success might depend on Leia.'

Seemingly feeling a chill run down her spine from Natsumi's gaze, Leia opened her eyes and was startled by Natsumi standing in front of her.

"Teacher, what are you doing?"

"It's alright, don't worry about it. We're just observing your cultivation progress."

Fearing that Leia might misunderstand, Xia Jian quickly explained.

"Really?" Leia tilted her head, feeling that Natsumi's gaze was strange.

As if she had thought of something, Leia's face immediately turned slightly red.

At this moment, Natsume had no idea what Leia was thinking, and instead began to teach Leia's knight training.

They are currently evading the city guards' pursuit, and Xia Jian only has the wizard's cultivation method, but no matching spell skills, so he still has to rely on his knightly cultivation to enhance his combat power.

And so, Xia Jian and Leia improved their knightly skills during the day and used meditation instead of sleeping at night.

Although life was a bit tough, thankfully no trouble came knocking, so we lived a leisurely and carefree life.

…………

……

A month later.

Xiong Hulin.

Looking at the forest before him, Xia Jian couldn't help but sigh at how quickly time had passed.

Think back to the last time he was being chased around by that black tiger, but this time he's back to hunt it down.

"What goes around comes around, I hope I never run into you again!"

Xia Jian murmured softly, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his slightly narrowed eyes.

The reason I returned here, besides hunting the black tiger, was that Leia was unable to break through to the level of a beginner knight.

Xia Jian had anticipated this.

After all, Leia only has the talent of a beginner knight, and her level six swordsmanship is not enough for her to break through on her own.

Xia Jian's situation is similar; he is now at the peak of the initial-level knight, with a terrifying 25 points in attributes!

However, his swordsmanship level is improving too slowly; he's only at level 13 so far, and nobody knows how many levels he needs to reach to break through the bottleneck.

During this time, they needed to practice meditation and avoid the people from the city lord's mansion, which is why they only came now.

"Let's go."

Summer led the way into the forest, with Leia following closely behind.

…………

……

After walking in the forest for two days, Leia used the wild beasts in the forest as her training subjects.

However, Leia's strength was too terrifying. Even her basic swordsmanship at level six was a pinnacle that many knights could never reach in their entire lives.

This means that when Leia encounters a lone beast, dealing with it is as easy as cutting melons and vegetables; only three or more tigers or bears can pose a threat.

To give Leia some experience, the two ventured deep into the Bear and Tiger Forest.

After walking for a long time, Xia Jian found a huge cave that was three meters high, with bear droppings nearby, seemingly a warning to any overconfident predators around.

Leia, who was used to killing, remained silent, drew her longsword from her waist, and walked toward the cave.

Just then, Natsume suddenly frowned.

Thanks to the amplification of his mental power brought about by practicing meditation, Xia Jian vaguely sensed that something seemed to be approaching from afar.

"roar!"

A tremendous tiger roar resounded.

Hearing that familiar roar, Xia Jian couldn't help but snort coldly, "I was just about to go find you!"

Because Black Tiger committed evil deeds on the official road, he was besieged and suppressed by the city guards.

Xia Jian had been unable to find this tiger before and thought the blue-eyed, black-skinned tiger was dead. Now it seems this guy is more resilient than he imagined.

Xia Jian turned to look at Leia, who had stopped, and then glanced at the four giant bears that had crawled out of the cave behind Leia. They were clearly larger than the beasts they had encountered before.

"You go and deal with them, I'll go find the tiger."

Without waiting for Leia's response, Xia Jian sped off alone toward the source of the tiger's roar.

However, after walking a distance, Xia Jian circled back.

The reason why Leia has been unable to break through is because she does not have enough pressure to condense her fighting spirit, and at the same time, she also has the sense of security that Xia Jian brings.

Now is the perfect time to find an excuse to leave; I believe the four giant bears will be enough to put pressure on Leia.

As for Black Tiger, we'll talk about him later; there's no rush now.

…………

After Xia Jian left, Leia immediately became nervous when facing the four giant bears.

But thinking of Xia Jian's expectations, I must not let Xia Jian down!

Leia gritted her teeth, gripped her longsword tightly, and charged toward the giant bear.

The giant bear roared defiantly, its massive body, like a tank, kicking up a cloud of dust as it ran.

Although Leia was very strong, she was still somewhat overwhelmed by the combined attack of four giant bears.

Within moments, Leia had several wounds on her body, and her shoulder was torn open by the bear's claws, leaving a wound more than ten centimeters long.

After all, she was only a fourteen-year-old girl, and she panicked a little in the face of this situation.

But thinking of Xia Jian's expectations, Leia bit her red lips and faced the challenge once again.

As the battle continued, Leia's blood surged, and a unique power formed within her, enhancing her overall strength.

With this power, Leia swung her sword in one go, tearing open the neck of a giant bear.

Bright red blood gushed from the giant bear's neck, staining Leia's entire body crimson.

But in an instant, the situation took a dramatic turn. A giant bear sneaked up behind Leia and slapped her on the back with its huge paw, sending her flying.

Leia flew several meters away until her body hit the rock wall and came to a stop.

However, thanks to the robust physique of a novice knight, such injuries were not enough to kill Leia.

However, facing the combined attack of the three giant bears, and already exhausted and injured, Leia was unable to mount an effective counterattack.
