Rock Kingdom: Why is black smoke coming out of my star chart?

The latest chapter is now available! Book lovers, hurry back!

"Teacher Iris?"

Lin Feng was stunned when he heard the familiar voice. The huge Thousand Thorn Sea Needle flew from the water to the shore, each thorn flashing with a sharp light.

The Thousand-Needle Sea Needle frolicked against the water's surface, creating waves, and its immense magical aura terrified the passing Locke.

"Don't be afraid, it's just a little happy to see me."

Iris walked over slowly, a gentle breeze ruffling his long white hair. He gently raised his hand, and a peaceful and warm light magic slowly spread out.

"Alright, you little rascal, don't be naughty!"

"Gurgle, gurgle!"

The Thousand-Thorn Sea Needle flicked its enormous tail, as if to say hello, before disappearing into the water.

"A little troublemaker?"

Lin Feng suddenly realized that this Thousand Thorns Helmet leader was the same one from the game's storyline! However, it hadn't been affected by the nightmare yet and wasn't berserk.

Mia looked at her strangely and asked, "Why is such a big Thousand Thorn Helmet called 'Little Thornhead'?"

"Because you, Teacher Iris, are already hundreds of years old," Lin Feng thought to himself.

Iris chuckled and said narcissistically, "Of course it's because I'm better! Compared to me, that little troublemaker is just a little troublemaker!"

Lin Feng shrugged helplessly and asked, "Professor Iris, where are you planning to go?"

Iris's expression turned slightly serious as she said, "I'm going to the village of believers to investigate the matter of nightmares. I heard from Locke there that there have been signs of dark wizard activity recently."

No wonder!

Lin Feng thought to himself: Since the appearance of the Gulu Ball, there are very few Locke who believe in the Wing King. Only the villages of believers still firmly believe in the Wing King and provide it with their willpower.

Mia covered her mouth in surprise and exclaimed, "Dark wizards! Are there more dark wizards lately?"

Iris sighed, rubbing her head. "You're right! I have no idea where these dark wizards suddenly came from."

Mia's eyes lit up, and she chuckled, "Would you like to come with us, Professor Iris? That way we'll have company on the journey."

Iris smiled and nodded: "You two must be heading to Light Breeze Mountain for your report, right? It just so happens you're going the same way!"

After crossing the Crescent Bridge, Crescent Town comes into view. Many merchants are traveling around carrying cogas, and there are also quite a few cogas production factories built on the mountain.

This fiery atmosphere makes it impossible to tell that this is the starting point for the first betrayal of faith.

The three of them did not linger and continued north along the path.

On the way, Iris would occasionally tell some interesting stories about her past experiences when she was taking the exam to become a great mage, which filled Mia with longing.

Lin Feng silently complained to himself, "They talk a good game, but when it comes to acting, they're better than anyone else!"

In the past, when the storyline was going through, it was mostly Enzo and Iris who played the main characters, oh, and we also had to add Griffin.

One of the people blocking the way, a member of the Ministry of Magic, started with a level 60 Sleepy King, while these two started with a Little Unicorn and an Evil Tangyuan Demon Ding.

Gradually, more and more new students came to report.

"The freshman registration office is not far ahead."

Iris pointed to the path beside the valley and said, "The rest of the way is up to you!"

"Goodbye, Professor Iris!"

"Hehe, see you next time!"

The two of them flipped off the Sonic Dog, and the stairs inside became difficult to navigate, but it shouldn't be that far.

Lin Feng took two cocoa berries out of his bag and fed them to the two animals, saying, "You two can find your way back, right?"

"Woof woof!"

The muscular Sonic the Hound chewed on a cocoa pod and mumbled a few words in response. The other Sonic hummed against Lin Feng's leg before picking up a cocoa pod and eating it.

Goodbye!

Mia pouted. Her idol seemed a bit indifferent to everyone except Aunt Lorraine, Claire, and the elf.

She rubbed the dog's head in dissatisfaction and said, "I won't come looking for you guys anymore once Lin Feng has his own transportation sprite."

"Woof?"

The robust Sonic Hound raised its head in confusion, sensing the female Locke's malice, and thought that this Locke must be seriously ill.

As you climb the stairs, you can already see some new students waiting in line to register.

Looking down, the lake in the ecological park shimmered with light, and the new students on the shore, dressed in various clothes, chattered excitedly.

You can even see a few young Rockers who don't yet have many favorite Pokémon battling against a Sceptile, hoping to catch one to strengthen their team.

At this moment, the young Locke members who were queuing at the front looked back and saw Lin Feng and Mia at the end of the line. They immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"Look! That's Lin Feng, the one who challenged Teacher Louis!"

"Becoming an apprentice magic student before even starting school? That's amazing!"

"Oh no! Being in the same year as someone like that must be incredibly stressful!"

Amidst the surrounding chatter, Lin Feng remained calm, showing no sign of pride.

For him, fame was never the goal; improving his strength, completing system tasks, and protecting those around him were the most important things.

Soon it was their turn. Lulu, the top teaching assistant, stood on the notice board, holding a thick roster of names.

Upon seeing Lin Feng, it was surprised. "Oh, it's Lin Feng! Looks like the freshmen are going to be under a lot of pressure!"

"Let me see where Lin Feng is... He's here! Lin Feng, age fourteen, academy number 4445755. And Mia, age thirteen, academy number 4666866."

After verifying the two people's information, he stamped the seal with a bright red seal and said with a smile:

"Registration complete! Next, please proceed to the old airship site to learn the art of alchemy for the Gulu Ball. This is a mandatory course for every new student!"

"Thank you, Lulu."

The former site of the airship was spacious and open, with rows of alchemy tables neatly arranged in the center, on which were placed some ores and magic stones.

There was a blackboard at the very front, with some stars and gooballs drawn on it, which looked like the steps to make gooballs.

Lin Feng had already learned it, so he didn't take it seriously, but it was extremely valuable to some freshmen from ordinary backgrounds!

They even have difficulty buying high-end Gulu balls.

Lulu glanced at the registration booklet and found that all the new students had already completed their registration and were flying up from the registration notice board.

It flew to the lectern in front of the alchemy platform, coughed twice, and said, "Is everyone here?"

Several alchemy cauldrons were surrounded by little Locke members, but the largest number of people were at the alchemy cauldron where Lin Feng was located.

Lulu used its wings to grab the teaching staff and tapped the blackboard, saying, "To make a Lulu Ball, you need to put ore into a special alchemical solution to extract the metal needed to make the Lulu Ball, then make the outer shell... and finally put the contract mark inside, and it's done."

"A contract mark? What is that?"

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment. Because he knew how to make Gulu Balls, he was in a daze the whole time. When he came to his senses, he saw Lulu talking about the contract mark.

After finishing her lesson, Lulu coughed and asked, "Did everyone understand?"

"I understand!"

All the little Lockes, including Mia, agreed.

Lulu looked at Lin Feng in the crowd and laughed, "I heard Lin Feng is quite the celebrity among the freshmen. Why don't you give us a demonstration?"

"Huh? Me?"

"That's right."

All the little Locke students stared at him with admiration, making him feel embarrassed. He forced himself to walk up to the podium.

There was a strange liquid in the alchemical cauldron, filled with a magical aura.

He secretly glanced at the steps on the blackboard, put the iron ore in, and then... um?

Lin Feng was stunned. There were no alchemical runes in the alchemical pot at all, and the refined ore still turned into the shape of a ball.

However, this "Gulu Ball" is completely useless.

So the next step is to retrieve the contract mark from the astrological chart? What? I need the astrological chart? This is terrible!

Lin Feng decisively rejected this method, snapped his fingers, and conjured the magic wand into his hand.

He frantically recalled all the alchemical runes used to create the Gooru Ball in his mind, while simultaneously drawing them in the air with his magic.

The freshmen below the stage were dumbfounded. How could this be different from what they had imagined? Shouldn't they be using contract marks? Why are they starting to use runes that look so dizzying?

In just a few minutes, Lin Feng inscribed all 73 magic runes. With a flash of white light, the Gulu Ball was complete.

"Is this...right?"

"Could the alchemy our teacher is teaching us be fake? Compared to Lin Feng's alchemy, it feels like child's play."

"Are you kidding me! Are we supposed to learn all these runes?"

Lulu exclaimed in shock, "This must be alchemy from two hundred years ago. Alchemy back then was known for its rigor and effectiveness."

This kind of alchemy, although Locke, without magic or an astrological chart, can learn, is extremely difficult! I never expected Lin Feng to know it!
