The genius who counterattacked the mainland

After leaving that small town, Xu Tiancai headed deeper into the continent. On his journey, he passed through a slightly larger town. It was bustling with activity, filled with opportunities and challenges. Xu Tiancai decided to stay for a while, learning the basics of magic while also exploring and studying other areas of knowledge.

Upon entering the town, Xu Tiancai was captivated by its prosperity. Shops lined the streets, their hawkers clamoring incessantly. He found a quiet inn to stay in, then began to inquire about where he could learn magic. After some inquiries, he learned of an ancient library in the town, housing a collection of books on magic.

Xu Tiancai couldn't wait to reach the library. The building was simple and quaint, exuding a mysterious aura. He entered, and it was quiet, save for the occasional rustle of pages. Xu Tiancai wandered between the shelves, searching for books on magic. He discovered a wide variety of books, including those on the history of magic, those explaining the principles of magic, and even manuals on various spells.

Xu Tiancai picked up a copy of "An Introduction to the Fundamentals of Magic" and sat in a corner, reading it intently. The contents of the book opened his eyes. For the first time, he understood how magical and vast the world of magic was. He was immersed in the ocean of knowledge, forgetting the passage of time.

Besides studying magic in the library, Xu Tiancai also attended magic lectures in town. These lectures were hosted by experienced magicians, who explained various magical techniques and applications in a simple and accessible way. Xu Tiancai listened attentively, frequently asking questions. His diligence and eagerness to learn won the admiration of the magicians, who were happy to answer his questions and offer valuable advice.

While learning magic, Xu Tiancai also pursued other areas of knowledge. He visited scholars and artisans in the town, asking them for advice on history, geography, and craftsmanship. This knowledge gave him a deeper understanding of the world and provided further assistance for his adventure.

However, Xu Tiancai's outstanding performance also aroused the jealousy of some people. In the town, there was a group of arrogant people who relied on their family power to do whatever they wanted in the town. When they saw that Xu Tiancai, a stranger, was so outstanding, they were filled with dissatisfaction.

One day, Xu Tiancai was reading in the library when a group of people suddenly walked in. The leader was a young man in fancy clothes. He looked at Xu Tiancai arrogantly and said, "Are you the new guy? I heard you're very powerful?" Xu Tiancai looked up, looked at him calmly, and said, "I'm just an ordinary adventurer. I don't know what you want." The young man sneered and said, "I don't like you. You'd better stay away from here, or you'll be in trouble." Xu Tiancai frowned and said, "This is a library, not a place for you to act wildly. If you want to cause trouble, I will accompany you to the end."

The young man was enraged by Xu Tiancai's words. He waved his hand, and the people behind him immediately rushed forward. Xu Tiancai quickly stood up, ready to fight. At this moment, the librarian came over and said sternly: "This is the library. Fighting is prohibited. If you don't leave, I will call the guards." The young man looked at Xu Tiancai helplessly and said: "You are lucky. Don't let me see you again next time." After that, he led his people out of the library.

Xu Tiancai was not affected by this incident and continued to study and practice. In the small town, he also made some like-minded friends. They studied together, discussed together, and made progress together.

As time went by, Xu Tiancai's reputation grew. His tall, handsome appearance and outstanding talent attracted the attention of many women. They all expressed their love to Xu Tiancai, but Xu Tiancai remained steadfast and remained unmoved. He knew his goal was to become a powerful adventurer, not to indulge in romantic affairs.

One day, Xu Tiancai was walking down the street when a girl stopped him. The girl was incredibly beautiful, and blushing, she said to Xu Tiancai, "Hello, my name is Lily. I've always admired you. Would you be my friend?" Xu Tiancai smiled at her and said, "Nice to meet you, Lily. But right now, I just want to focus on my studies and spiritual practice. I don't have time to think about anything else." A hint of disappointment flashed in Lily's eyes, but she said, "It's okay. I understand. I hope you can achieve your dreams." Then, she turned and walked away.

Xu Tiancai looked at Lily's back, feeling a little emotional. He knew his choice might disappoint some people, but he had to stick to his original intention. Only in this way could he continue to grow in this challenging world.

During his time in the small town, Xu Tiancai not only learned a lot but also improved his abilities. His magic skills became more and more proficient, and his physical fitness improved. He knew that he was one step closer to his goal.

However, Xu Tiancai also understands that the road ahead is still long. He doesn't know what difficulties and challenges he will encounter in his future adventures, but he is full of confidence. He believes that as long as he perseveres, he will be able to overcome all difficulties and realize his dream.

Just as Xu Tiancai was about to leave the town, he received a mysterious message. It was said that a powerful demonic beast had appeared on a mountain near the town. This demonic beast was extremely ferocious and had already threatened the safety of the town. Xu Tiancai decided to challenge this demonic beast and eliminate the threat to the town's residents.

He and his friends embarked on their journey. They followed the mountain path, carefully searching for traces of the monster. Finally, they discovered it in a valley. It was enormous, emanating a powerful aura. Xu Tiancai and the others immediately prepared for battle.

The battle was imminent. The monster roared and charged towards them. Undaunted, Xu Tiancai and his friends bravely faced it. Unleashing their full strength, they engaged in a fierce battle with the monster. During the battle, Xu Tiancai discovered the monster was even more powerful than he had imagined. Its attacks were ferocious, and it even employed magical abilities. Xu Tiancai and his companions were in dire straits, but they refused to give up. They collaborated, searching for the monster's weaknesses.

After a tough fight, Xu Tiancai finally found the monster's weakness. Unleashing his strongest magical skill, he stabbed the monster in the vitals. The monster let out a scream and fell to the ground. Xu Tiancai and the others breathed a sigh of relief; they had successfully defeated the monster.

When the townspeople learned that Xu Tiancai and his companions had defeated the monsters, they came to thank them. Xu Tiancai smiled and accepted the residents' thanks, then he and his friends left the town. They continued their adventure, heading into the unknown.

After they leave, strange things happen again in the town. Mysterious figures appear in the town, seemingly searching for something. The appearance of these mysterious figures sets the stage for the following chapters.
