Magical Cat

"Why are you staring at me like that?"

Corbyn led Li En back to his room, and asked casually, with an air of nonchalance.

Even though he's quite old, he still enjoys showing off.

To be honest, Li En was quite impressed with him today.

Even Corbyn's slovenly appearance now seems to have the style of a master.

When he noticed that the way Li En, the little cat, was looking at him was different, Cobra felt that his efforts today had not been in vain.

"How did you get targeted by that old woman, Foppert? That guy's got a mind smaller than a grain of wheat," Cobra said, shaking his head.

Li En wanted to explain things to him clearly, but she was afraid that using demonic communication would frighten Kobrain.

Given Brian's strength and age, communicating with demonic thoughts is probably not a new thing for him.

The problem is that Li En is still just a juvenile magical beast.

The aptitude he has already displayed is already outrageous. If he displays any more, I'm afraid Brian might put down the Seed of Life and really turn his attention to studying Li En.

Corbyn muttered to himself, then waved his hand and said to Li En, "Alright, you don't need to worry about these things. With me here, that old woman won't dare to do anything to you. I don't have class tomorrow, so you can start smoking to your heart's content from tonight, which will save you from always coming to me."

As he spoke, Corbyn took out the flowerpot containing the Seed of Life and removed the outer black protective cover.

Upon hearing this, Li En was overjoyed, feeling as if a pillow had come to his door when he was sleepy.

If he completes the task tonight and tomorrow, then completing the task is a sure thing, and there's no need to worry about the time limit at all.

Now that Brian had said it all, Lee En naturally wouldn't worry about anything else.

I've already witnessed Corbyn's strength; this is no exaggeration.

Li En immediately hugged the flowerpot, twisting his body and greedily absorbing the magic power of the Seed of Life. The progress on the task panel kept increasing, and he was getting closer and closer to completing the task.

At the same time, Corbyn was not idle either.

He somehow produced a set of sophisticated professional observation tools and aimed them all at Li En.

With the help of this tool, Corbyn could clearly observe all the changes in Lyon as he absorbed the magic of the Seed of Life.

His direction is now very clear.

If we want the Seed of Life to have the same ability to grow on its own as Li En, then we first need to thoroughly study Li En.

Although research on magical beasts wasn't Brian's forte, he had worked on several similar projects before, so it wasn't entirely starting from scratch.

Time flew by as they focused intently on their work, and several hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Li En was still immersed in the joy of absorbing the magic of the Seed of Life and about to complete the mission, and had no time to think about anything else.

Cobra, on the other hand, made more discoveries through observation tools.

"The magic power is actually slowly increasing! That's amazing!"

"This is not just a matter of high elemental affinity, but rather a kind of meditation-like effect."

"But he was clearly there..."

Kobrain watched as Lee En pressed himself against the transparent protective shield of the flowerpot, contorting his body in a lewd manner, and fell silent.

Through his observation tools, he could clearly distinguish the magic that Li En drew from the Seed of Life and the magic he absorbed from the atmosphere.

Once these two completely different magical powers enter Li En's body, they will merge into one, becoming indistinguishable.

What Cobra wanted was the latter.

Only when the seed of life possesses the same ability can it take root, sprout, and grow into a giant tree of life.

However, Li En's magical power, which has grown on its own, is still too small, making it quite difficult for Corbrain to observe it more closely.

"The magical power that grows on its own is most likely related to the evolutionary stage of the magical beast."

"Of course, most likely, this speed won't change significantly..."

As Corbyn spoke, he also lost his confidence.

For a magical beast to have such the ability to grow on its own in its juvenile stage is already quite terrifying.

This ability allows magical beasts to more easily pass through their juvenile stage and quickly develop combat power.

But if this ability can grow as the magical beast evolves, that would be terrifying.

"We can't just look at one direction; we also need to consider the solidification of characteristics. I remember those old guys in the academy did some related research..."

While recording the data from observing Li En, Kobryan also organized all his thoughts in his notes.

Although he is old, he is still full of energy when he stays up all night.

For Corbyn, who always immerses himself in research, this doesn't make him feel tired; instead, it puts him in a state of excitement.

Compared to when he's teaching during the day, his mind actually enters a more clear state.

Corbyn was actually extremely tired of his teaching.

He wasn't particularly interested in teaching students; he just wanted to devote himself entirely to his research.

However, being in the academy means he has to take on corresponding teaching responsibilities; otherwise, those research resources wouldn't be provided to him for nothing.

Moreover, compared to other teachers, the college has been quite lenient with Corbyn.

As the two were engrossed in their own world, the sky outside quickly brightened from dark to light.

Just as dawn was breaking, a furious roar came from outside.

"Corbrian, get out here!"

The sound echoed throughout the academy, waking up Corbyn and Lien from their focused state.

Kobryan slowly put down his observation tools and notes, a clear look of anger on his face.

"You continue, don't worry about what's going on outside."

Corbyn took out his staff and cast several layers of protective barriers to safeguard Li En and the Seed of Life inside.

Then, he vanished from the room in a flash.

"This mage's Blink is really useful."

Watching Corbyn's carefree coming and going, Lee En was filled with envy.

Once I master this magic in the future, won't I be able to appear and disappear without a trace?

As Li En absorbed the magic of the Seed of Life, he dreamed of a bright future.

[Quest: Absorb the magic power of the Seed of Life replica (23.3/25)]

[Time Limit: 1 days]

[Reward: Skill Enhancement]

[Punishment: Stop the development of both spirit orbs]

"It'll be soon, it'll be soon!"

Looking at the task that was about to be completed, Li En was extremely excited.

He arrived early last night, and after a night of hard work, he was almost finished with his task.

Once he receives the reward, he can become even stronger.

He is getting closer and closer to becoming the most powerful magical cat in the world.

Suddenly, a loud roar came from outside the window, followed by a strong gust of wind that shattered all the windows.

Looking outside, Li En saw the sky and clouds changing color, a strong wind blowing, and a terrifying scene of an impending storm.

"Holy crap, they've really started fighting?"
