It's possible to practice magic this way, right?

After the meal, they packed up and continued on their journey. They were already deep in the forest, and primary and intermediate magical beasts appeared from time to time. Owen only picked some non-toxic magical beasts for the two of them to practice with.

At this time, Lin Li and Luca were working together to besiege a brown rock pig. This pig had brown rock-like skin all over its body, which was quite hard. It was a level 2 rock attribute monster. In addition to its strong defense, it also had ground spikes and stone shields. It also had a pair of sharp fangs in front, which made it very ferocious. The two had been besieging it for a while, but it was difficult to break through its hard defense. With the intermediate strength, they could only cause some skin injuries to it. Although it looked like it had a lot of wounds, it was still alive and well. On the contrary, Lin Li and Luca had to be careful of its ground spikes and fangs at all times.

Owen stood not far away and shouted to the two of them, "You have to focus on its weak spot. When it launches its ground spikes, it will stand up briefly and then slap the ground with its two front paws. Take the opportunity to attack its belly, which is its weak spot."

At this time, Luca used his sword to block its fangs, but Luca's strength was obviously no match for it. He shook his head fiercely and was knocked away. At this time, Lin Li stabbed its eyes from the side, but was blocked by the stone shield around it. Lin Li secretly added force, and the stone shield cracked with a "snap". The pig did not seem to expect that its stone shield was so fragile and was broken at this time. Lin Li hit it directly in the right eye.

"Ouch!" It cried out in pain, and swung its sharp fangs left and right desperately. Lin Li retreated after a successful attack. At this time, it stood up and raised its front legs to hit Luca who fell to the ground. Lin Li retreated a little far to avoid its fangs, so he had to miss this opportunity. One by one, the thorns stabbed towards Luca. Luca rolled to the left along the ground, dodged it, and quickly stood up, raised his sword and chopped at the brown rock pig.

Seeing Luka slashing at him, the brown rock pig ang let out an "ow" and tried to summon a rock shield to defend himself. Lin Li saw the opportunity and rushed from the right side when it opened its mouth and stabbed it in the mouth with a sword. The last time he summoned a rock shield, Lin Li noticed that there was this action when summoning a rock shield. He lost his right eye and his vision became smaller. He succeeded in a sneak attack and was directly stabbed in the mouth, directly interrupting the rock shield. He was slashed hard on the neck by Luka's sword. Although most of the force was blocked by the hard skin, it still left a deep wound.

The brown rock pig was severely injured and knew that it would not be able to escape death today. It ignored the sword in its mouth and wanted to turn around and fight Lin Li. Lin Li seemed to have known it in advance. When it turned around, he loosened his sword and kicked the hilt with a side kick. The whole sword went directly into its mouth. The brown rock pig screamed again, and its huge body fell to the ground. It struggled for a while and then fell silent.

Seeing that the brown rock pig was dead, Eudora walked over and said, "Brother, you knew it had thick skin, so why did you keep hacking at it?"

Luca sat on the ground and panted, "I can't do anything. This pig is so cunning that it won't expose its weaknesses at all." He took out his water bottle and took a big sip, then said, "I'm so tired. Next time I see this kind of pig, I'll walk around it and not provoke it."

Lin Li came over and pried open Jian Heyan's mouth, and pulled out the sword. The hilt was covered with blood, and his hand was covered with blood. "Too disgusting." He quickly took the kettle handed by Owen and cleaned it for a long time, then came to the pig's head and cut it hard at the center of the eyebrows, and picked out a bright yellow gem-like crystal from it. This was the magic core.

After cleaning it, I put it in my hand. The oval shape of the magic core shone brightly under the sunlight. "Although it is only an intermediate magic core, the color and shape are very beautiful."

Eudora also looked over and exclaimed, "How beautiful! Let me see, let me see."

Lin Li handed the magic core to her. Owen said, "Although the Brown Rock Pig is only a mid-level magic beast, its magic core is very valuable. Its transparent luster and round shape make it very popular in the market. It is much more beautiful than the irregular stones with colors of other magic cores. It is usually used as a gem to make magic accessories. It can also be engraved with stone shield spells."

Eudora asked, "How much will it sell for?"

Owen smiled and said, "In the Brilliant Jewelry Store in the capital, a stone shield necklace made of it costs 200 gold coins. This magic core can be sold for more than 100 gold coins in any store. I didn't expect to meet a brown rock pig today. This is really the blessing of the goddess of luck. You know, brown rock pigs are hard to come by now. They have almost all been killed by adventurers."

Lin Li didn't expect it to be so valuable, it was as much as Val's income for several years. He said to Luca, "Will you go around it next time?"

"Who would avoid gold coins? These are more than 100 gold coins. We can't let them go no matter how hard it is to kill them."

Eudora raised her hand to the sun and looked at the magic core that was brighter than a gem, with a happy smile on her face. Suddenly, a purple light shot out from a distance, as fast as lightning, and instantly rushed towards the magic core in Eudora's hand.

Eudora was so frightened that she screamed "Ah..."

Before everyone could react, it took away the magic core, jumped onto a branch not far away, held the magic core and looked at everyone. Only then did everyone see clearly that it was a purple mink, a little smaller than a cat, with a long tail.

"My gold coins." Luca shouted and chased after him. Lin Li also quickly followed.

When the sable saw someone chasing it, it quickly ran up the mountain.

"You guys keep an eye on the young lady," Owen said, and chased after it. He then said to Luca and Lin Li, "This is a lightning marten, a high-level magical beast, very fast. You two can't catch up with it, so you can't be its opponent. Hurry back and don't run around. I'll try to catch up." After saying that, he quickly passed the two and chased after the lightning marten.

When Luca heard that it was a high-level monster, he stopped and said unwillingly, "Damn, my gold coins."

At this time, I heard Lin Li next to me say, "I'll go and take a look."

“Why are you…chasing…” Before Luca could finish his words, he heard Lin Li roar “Thunder Step” and he quickly chased after him on the lightning.

Luca was stunned on the spot. After a while, he screamed, "Fuck, advanced warrior, this is a combat skill. How did it suddenly become advanced? It's not magic. I must be dreaming." He slapped himself. "Ouch, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts." Then he stood there stupidly, covering his face, staring blankly at the direction where Lin Li was chasing.

Eudora and the guards came over. Eudora asked, "What happened to Lin Li? Why is he so fast on the purple light?"

"This is the Thunder Step. I've seen Lord Val perform it. It's one of the combat skills of a high-level Lightning Swordsman." The person who spoke was Aaron, a high-level warrior in the guard team. Aaron then said, "I didn't expect that Master Lin Li would become a high-level warrior so quickly."

Eudora was surprised and said, "It's been less than two years since you broke through to the intermediate level for a senior warrior? Didn't you say it would take at least two years, Luka? Didn't he break through to the intermediate level a few months later than you?"

"How should I know? We were basically evenly matched when we were sparring, but suddenly he became more advanced. It seems that what he said before, 'I was giving in to you', was true.
