Traveling through the first year of Panlong and Magnolia

"How dare you! Who are you?" The four knights behind Clyde raised their spears and shouted loudly.

Howard remained calm: "I am his father, Howard Lance, and I do not agree with Andrew joining the Frey family."

Clyde waved his hand to stop his subordinates' actions, looked at Howard and said, "I know you, Howard Lance. You were quite famous in White River City. My name is Clyde, and I am the captain of the Frey family's guard. Howard, I have heard of you. Originally, with your talent, it would be easy for you to become a high-level warrior as long as you had the Dou Qi Secret Book, but now you are still a level 6 warrior, and you may not be able to break through in this life. Now, your son Andrew is more talented than you, do you want him to be like you and become a level 6 warrior and that's the end of it?"

Clyde's words made Howard's momentum stagnate. He didn't know how to say what he had prepared. Deep down, he agreed with Clyde's opinion and hesitated.

When Andrew saw this, he said loudly, "Master Clyde, thank you for your appreciation, but I don't need to consider joining the Frey family."

Clyde asked, "Why? Is it because of your father's objection?" Howard also looked at him, waiting for his answer.

Andrew shook his head: "Even if my father agrees, I won't agree. For me, freedom is as important as becoming a strong man. If I give up my freedom for the Dou Qi Secret Book, even if I become a strong man, my life will be meaningless. Therefore, I will not enter a noble family."

Seeing that he was so determined, Clyde knew that he had made up his mind, so he stopped forcing him. He just felt a little regretful: "What a pity." Behind him, the four masked knights looked at him with complicated eyes.

The great elder beside him suddenly laughed: "Young friend, you are right. Freedom is as valuable as strength. You can understand this at such a young age. Who knows, you will become a legendary strong man in the future. If you don't mind, would you like to talk to me, young friend Andrew?"

The laughter of the great elder broke the solemnity of the scene, and Andrew breathed a sigh of relief. You know, he rejected a much stronger person than him, and it was fortunate that Clyde was broad-minded. If it were a narrow-minded person, he might have ordered the arrest of the father and son on the spot.

"How dare I refuse the invitation from my elders?" Andrew said modestly.

The elder nodded and said to Clyde, "Captain Clyde, let's proceed with the transaction as we said before. Glitt, you take Captain Clyde to the transaction."

After Clyde and his party left, the Great Elder led Andrew into a stone building. This stone building was the residence of the Great Elder, built in the center of the Cree tribe, and its status was extraordinary. Howard wanted to follow, but was stopped by the barbarians and had to give up.

"I wonder what instructions the Great Elder has for bringing me here?" Andrew didn't know the other party's intention, so he asked tentatively.

The elder smiled, and wrinkles appeared on his face. "Don't worry. I invited you here because I want to complete a deal."

Trade? Andrew was puzzled.

The great elder continued, "The heavens are really kind to humans. They not only gave you fertile land, but also gave you extremely strong talents. Among humans, strong people emerge in endlessly. In comparison, the heavens are so cruel to the barbarians."

Andrew couldn't figure out the other party's intention, so he said, "You don't have to do this, Great Elder. There are gains and losses in everything. Barbarians also have their own advantages. For example, barbarians don't need the Dou Qi Secret Book. As long as they comprehend the power, they can become high-level warriors."

The Great Elder shook his head: "What you said makes sense, but the barbarians are not very intelligent, and there are too few people who can comprehend power."

Andrew said, "I think Baru is very intelligent and will probably become a high-level warrior in the future. So, what kind of deal are you talking about, Great Elder? You know, I'm just a child and I have nothing."

The Great Elder stared at him, his eyes gleaming with wisdom: "Kid, what you have is the future. This is your greatest wealth, and it is also the content of our transaction today."

future?

Andrew immediately understood: "The Great Elder is impressed by my talent?"

"Yes." The great elder stood up and took out a booklet from the top of the stone shelf next to him. "You are very smart and your talent is far beyond that of ordinary people. Originally, these are nothing. I have lived for a hundred years and have seen countless geniuses, but only a few have become strong. What I value most is your persistence, your maturity, and your wisdom. These are important conditions for your survival. Only by surviving can you go far and become stronger."

Andrew thought to himself that it was true that old people become more clever and smarter. Even a barbarian, if he lived long enough, would be much wiser than ordinary humans.

"I understand what you mean, Great Elder. You hope that I can repay the Kree tribe after I become a strong man in the future. What is the bargaining chip of the Great Elder?"

"That's it!" The great elder handed the booklet in his hand to Andrew. When Andrew saw it, his heart began to beat fast involuntarily. There were four big words written on the booklet: Secret Book of Thunder.

"Is this the Secret Book of Fighting Qi?" Andrew looked at the Great Elder with trembling hands.

The great elder smiled, finally seeing Andrew's loss of composure: "Yes, this is a Dou Qi secret book that I accidentally got when I was young. If it weren't for the fact that barbarians can't practice Dou Qi secret books, it wouldn't be your turn."

Andrew heaved a sigh of relief after getting the confirmation from the great elder. He finally didn't let himself down. What made him happiest was that this secret book was actually of thunder attribute, and he just happened to have a talent in this area!

Generally speaking, in addition to the Bloodline Secret Book, like the Dragon Blood Secret Book in the original work, everyone can practice the Dou Qi Secret Book. Even if you don't have the relevant talent, you can practice Dou Qi. However, in this way, the power of Dou Qi is discounted. For example, a person with wind talent who practices the Fire Secret Book can only exert 80% of its power. Moreover, the speed of practice becomes extremely slow.

In the previous test, Andrew knew that his talents in fire and lightning were not weak. Who would have thought that he would have a secret book of lightning in his hand? Is this the treatment of the protagonist?

"Okay, I agree!" Andrew closed the secret book and said loudly, "Today, I made a promise with the Great Elder that in the future, if I, Andrew Lance, succeed in my cultivation, I will definitely repay the Kree tribe with my greatest ability!"

The great elder nodded slightly: "I believe you, you have the heart of a strong man, such a person will never regret what he said. Well, our deal is done, you can leave now, you are welcome to come to the Kree tribe in the future!"

Andrew put away the secret book and bowed to the wise old man earnestly: "Grand Elder, take care!"

As soon as he came out, Andrew was caught by Howard.

"Andrew, what does the great elder of the Kree tribe want from you?"

Andrew smiled, very brightly: "It's nothing, Dad, it's a good thing, let's go back."

Howard didn't understand. He knew that his son had been very independent since he was young, so he didn't ask any more questions. The two of them returned to the camping place, one after the other.

As soon as he returned to his residence, Andrew couldn't wait to open the secret book and study it eagerly. He had been looking forward to Dou Qi for a long time. Before, he had planned to go out and explore after becoming a sixth-level warrior and a sixth-level magician to see if he could get the secret book. Unexpectedly, during an ordinary outing, he got the Dou Qi secret book he had dreamed of, and it was a thunder attribute secret book that matched his talent. What good luck.

"I don't know what Dad's talent is, but whether he has the thunder attribute or not, he can practice this secret book. I'll give it to him when we get home."

Andrew sat cross-legged in the tent and soon entered the state of cultivation. In fact, the so-called Dou Qi secret book is quite simple. It only talks about how to absorb the elements between heaven and earth, how to accumulate Dou Qi, and the techniques of using Dou Qi, as well as some special moves. There is nothing very profound. However, even these, no one can think of without reading the secret book, even if there is only a piece of paper between them, others can't break it.

In less than an hour, Andrew had condensed a trace of Dou Qi in his body, which also meant that he had entered the door of Dou Qi cultivation, and the rest was just a matter of hard work. With his qualifications, there would be no obstacles before he became a level 7 warrior.

"I'm afraid this Thunderbolt Secret Book is just a low-level secret book. I remember that in the original book, the Dragon Blood Secret Book also had an explanation of 'momentum', but this secret book has nothing. According to its method, becoming a ninth-level warrior is the end point. There is no description of the Holy Land at all."

Andrew wrote down the secret book and speculated in his mind. In fact, his idea was very close to reality. The so-called Dou Qi Secret Book can be written by warriors above the ninth level based on their own experience, because their understanding of power has reached the extreme. Among them, the secret book written by the Saint Realm warriors will have an introduction to the Saint Realm. This Benlei Secret Book was written by a warrior at the ninth level, and there is no understanding of the Saint Realm.

Andrew gained a lot from the secret book and the training. Soon, the transaction was completed and the team started to return. When passing through the grassland, there were still many monsters harassing. With them to practice, Andrew's practical experience was richer and he grew faster. What made him most happy was that in just three days, he cultivated the second level of fighting spirit.

"It seems that the stronger the mental power, the faster the speed of cultivating fighting spirit and magic. I have made such rapid progress, which shows that my mental power is far superior to others." Andrew guessed that after living two lives as a human, his mental power must be much stronger than that of ordinary people.

The team of dozens of people returned to Maple Forest Town smoothly, but Andrew was still worried. Matthews and his six companions also stayed in Maple Forest Town. On the day of their return, Janice brought Ling'er to greet the father and son. Andrew noticed that at that time, Matthews looked at Janice with a very scary look, full of desire, cruelty and destruction!
