"Is everything ready, you two heroes? I have received the results of the guild's investigation. Based on the clues provided by Sean, the guild has finally located Luo Yi and Qing Xuan in a canyon in the northwest of the town. It seems that Luo Yi has made that his base."

“We’re all ready, Ah Jiu. Sean and I are on standby.”

Through the conversation between the legendary magic book and Yongyi Chunjing, Ajiu made contact with Yaohui on the other side of the mountain. Ajiu set off first to investigate the terrain around Luo Yi with the guild and set up an anti-earth-escape magic array to ensure the success of the operation.

"Okay, we can move out once we've set up the magic circle. However, the guild can't provide much help this time, so Yaohui and the others need to be extra careful."

“I understand. After all, the town will be without guardians after we leave, and the guild will need to deploy most of its personnel around the town to ensure everyone’s safety. I’ve already looked into these things beforehand.”

After tidying their clothes and putting on their Bravery Crystal, Haruki and Zeta were ready for battle. Haruki and the others had already discussed the plan to rescue Seigen.

Haruki and Zeta were responsible for the direct confrontation, trying to keep Luo Yi and the two monsters occupied, and then let Sean infiltrate the interior to rescue Qingxuan. Haruki and Zeta had confidence in Sean, who had already mastered the power of the Alpha Armor.

Sean is currently standing next to Yaohui, staring at the Light Magic Stone Bracelet that he was given, his mind replaying the special training Zeta had given him.

Sean was naturally not worried about Haruki and Zeta's strength. After personally sparring with Zeta, Sean did not think that ordinary monsters could do anything to Zeta. Moreover, with Belial Twilight and the help of everyone, this operation had a great advantage. Excessive worry would only hinder him at this moment. The best answer to this moment was to go all out with a clear conscience.

“I’m ready, Yaohui. It’s time for this farce to end.” Sean’s will caused the Light Magic Stone to flash with light, and the chip inside it underwent subtle changes as Sean’s fighting spirit hardened.

"I've been waiting for you to say that." Haruki raised his hand, revealing the Pure Crystal of Courage, and fired a ray backward to summon a magic circle out of thin air, using the power of Gamma Future to achieve spatial transfer.

The circular encircling triangle magic circle is golden and bright. Inside, there are time crystals representing the source of power from the three Ultra Warriors, Tiga, Dyna, and Gaia. When Sean steps into it, his whole body is immersed in light, and everything in sight is bright.

"Hey, wake up! Are you still sleeping, Sean? Get up! Have you forgotten that we have the Earthwalker's mock exam today? Let's go!"

"I know, Mom. I haven't slept. I'm coming soon, almost there."

Outside the window, it was a peaceful and quiet morning. Inside, there was a knock on the door, and his mother's urgent tone was very worried. Sean sat quietly on the edge of the bed, dressed neatly.

On the table were exquisite gifts left by Minister Ye during his visit yesterday, and at the foot of the bed were cartoon drawings Sean had made as a child. The room shouldn't have been so messy, but Sean was in no mood to tidy it up.

Life had to go on. Sean said goodbye to his family and prepared to head to the mock exam location. Just as he left his room, he saw Qingxuan appear not far away. Before Sean could even speak, Qingxuan ran over to greet him.

"You overslept on such an important day? Did you secretly stay up all night studying again last night? You're quite the schemer!"

"I didn't sleep in, do you think I'm like you?!"

"Come on, I could hear your aunt calling you to get up from way out of the corner of the room. You think you can fool me? Forget it, let's hurry up and get to the exam location so we can get familiar with the environment. Maybe that will help us improve our scores!"

Qingxuan couldn't help but get excited whenever the topic of Earth Tamers came up. Sean had never seen Qingxuan change in this way since they were children. Qingxuan was willing to waste time to wait here. Sean really couldn't understand what he was thinking, since he clearly took this exam so seriously.

Following Qingxuan to the Colt Station, they boarded the Colt Train to the examination location arranged by the Magicians' Guild headquarters. Along the way, Qingxuan enthusiastically shared what he had learned in the past few days with Sean. This was undoubtedly inappropriate for someone who was about to become his competitor, but Qingxuan didn't care. After all, Sean had often helped him like this before.

"By the way, Qingxuan, why didn't I see your dad come to see you off?"

“He said he was busy, but I don’t know what he was busy with. I haven’t seen him at home for the past few days. He said he was traveling to many places for work-related issues.”

The two young people walked briskly and spoke freely, perhaps to relieve the pressure in their hearts, so Sean and Qingxuan were both happy to communicate.

As they passed through a field, the behavior of a family caught Qingxuan and Xiaoen's attention. It was not the farming season, and the people were not carrying any farming tools. They were wandering around as if they were looking for something.

"Excuse me, ma'am? What are you doing?" Unable to contain her curiosity, Qingxuan stopped and took the initiative to ask. Sean, on the other hand, stood behind her, wondering why Qingxuan, who had been so anxious about the time, had suddenly stopped.

"Our cow is missing! The whole family is so worried! We've raised her for so many years, how could she have eaten all that grass just yesterday when we let her out? Oh God!"

The old woman's complaints revealed her inner turmoil. Qingxuan remained in place, deep in thought, leaving Sean unsure how to advise him.

"Look, Qingxuan, the horse train is coming in the distance! I can hear it! Let's hurry!" Sean urged Qingxuan to set off. If they missed this train, there wouldn't be another chance. This was their only chance to arrive at the examination hall on time.

Hearing the distant roar and Sean's shouts, Qingxuan turned around and followed Sean, but after only a few steps, he looked back at the family searching endlessly in the fields, his expression gradually becoming serious, until Qingxuan stopped in his tracks.

"You go first, Sean. I need to catch the next train. Searching like this isn't going to work for that family. I have to go help them!"

"Hey, Qingxuan, hey! What are you doing!"

The search was already fraught with uncertainty, and the addition of one person wouldn't change much—at least for ordinary people. Qingxuan, as a candidate for Earth Master, was naturally proficient in magic, especially with the addition of another partner specializing in land blessing magic.

Touching the remaining footprints in the wild grass, Sean was certain that they were left by cow hooves, and the marks were still very fresh. This kind of investigation was not originally planned, but Sean unexpectedly enjoyed it. When he was immersed in exploring and searching for living creatures, Sean completely lost his previous anxiety.

“You didn’t need to come with me, Sean. We both missed our train this way.”

"Stop talking like that. Now that I'm here with you, let's get this over with quickly and get back as soon as possible." "Sean, you're such a good person!"

Following the footprints into the plains, Sean quickly found cattle, guided by the earth's blessing magic—a large herd of bison grazing by the river. Climbing slightly higher, he soon spotted a water buffalo with a bell tied to its neck and followed the herd to the river to cool off.

It seems that the buffalo is the target we are looking for, but how to bring her back has become a problem. It is impossible for just two people to break into the buffalo herd and do anything. Wild animals that move in groups are, in some ways, more dangerous than carnivores.

Qingxuan and Sean were about to discuss their plan when, unexpectedly, a riot broke out among the bison herd in the distance. The river was disturbed, and all the bison scattered and fled. Several ice-toothed crocodiles rushed out of the water to hunt the bison, and a large crocodile rushed ashore to give chase.

Domesticated water buffalo are naturally not as strong as wild buffalo, and they quickly fall behind during the escape. In addition, she is wearing a bell, making her an obvious target and thus the primary target of the Ice Fang Crocodile.

The Ice Fang Crocodile crawled across the plains on all fours, its massive jaws spewing out icy breath that froze large swathes of land. The cow's hooves slipped on the ice and it fell to the ground after only a few meters. The Bell Cow was about to become meat in the crocodile's mouth.

The magic circle manifested a beam of light that bombarded the giant crocodile. Qingxuan rushed over from a distance to interrupt the Ice Fang Crocodile's advance. Sean circled around it, slamming his fist into the ground to activate the Earth Blessing magic, which stimulated the energy of the grass to melt the ice. He quickly led the Bell Cow away from there.

The Ice Fang Crocodile roared and charged wildly, while Qingxuan unleashed his full magical power. Both man and beast were confident in their combat abilities, and they clashed and entangled on the plains, neither able to gain the upper hand for a time.

When Sean returned, the townspeople came to help. The group chased away the Ice Fang Crocodile, and everyone escaped unscathed, except for Qingxuan who suffered minor injuries.

That was the end of the matter, but Sean still had doubts. When he found Qingxuan again, Sean still wanted to know why he had gone to so much trouble to find a cow.

"To most people, it might just be a cow, but I don't see it that way. I feel like that family has come to regard the bell-ringed cow as their own. I can't explain why, but that's just how I feel..."

If one day a 'family member' suddenly disappears, the other family members must be heartbroken. If I can help one more family, save one more beloved life, then it's all worth it for me to suffer a little more.

Later, Sean and Qingxuan still made it to the examination venue, and they were not disqualified for being late. It is said that this was the result of Minister Ye communicating with the guild after learning the truth about Qingxuan and Sean's lateness. However, Sean no longer cared about the true cause and effect behind this. He voluntarily gave up this opportunity, withdrew from the examination, and went to find Minister Ye again.

"What do you mean by this, Sean? Is my gift not good enough? Or is it not to your liking? I can change it."

Minister Ye was somewhat puzzled by the gifts Sean returned. He had assumed Sean had accepted his good intentions and was therefore cooperating with him so well, but the result was beyond Minister Ye's expectations. He had originally intended to send more gifts.

"No, Minister Ye, you've been good enough to me. I'm here today just to tell you one thing: I will support Qingxuan, and I will continue to support him without any gifts or rewards."
