After finding out that the savage Magical Beast on the outskirts of the forest had been vanquished by the Lord, the people excitedly spread the news. At first, many people were doubtful. But as the number of Hunters hunting in the forest grew, and as the soldiers that were preparing to face the great enemy left the battlements, the news was verified.
Very quickly, the news of Jaboli triumphing over the Magical Beasts spread. Many merchants and townsfolk who fled came rushing back when they heard the news. It even attracted a flood of people. There were powerful merchants, down and out Troops and adventurers, refugees who had a hard life… They each harboured their own hopes, to travel the great distance to Jaboli!
Rich resources like sulfur, tree sap and ores, an endless supply of Magical Beasts, a strong army and taxes that were lower than other Domains…
All these were the ultimate attraction to the merchants looking for profit. Every of one of the nine big Merchant Associations on the Tailun Continent had a branch in the Magical Beasts Realm. After getting a taste of the benefits of the Magical Beasts Realm had to offer, no one would want to miss out on the up and coming city of Jaboli.
Before the crisis of the Magical Beasts attacking Jamboli was resolved, a few of the big Merchant Associations were hesitant. But after this crisis, they were filled with confidence about the powerful Magical Beasts Realm. No one could resist the impulse to grab at this opportunity!


Back then, because it was the first to make contact with Yang Ling, out of the nine Merchant Associations, the Aragon Merchant Team landed a contract that made the others go green with envy. The open-air sulfur mine in the Taildon Valley made them a fortune. Being part of the construction and management of the Sallero Harbor was making them even more money quickly.
In the Magical Beasts Realm, apart from Harribell’s Boulade Merchant’s Association, the Aragon Merchant Team benefitted the most. After witnessing the strategy and success of the Aragon Merchant Team, naturally, the other Merchant Associations would not let go of an opportunity to be the first in line.
The nine big Merchant Associations rushed to be stationed in Jaboli. Following their lead, various Merchant Associations vied to enter the market, bringing a flood of capital and a steady stream of people.
Every day, outside the Lord’s Manor, the merchants who wanted to discuss about issues or the possibility of cooperation were never ending. There was an endless stream of horses and carriages. Luxury carriages, servants in luxury dress, powerful guards… The long queue became a unique scenery of Jaboli.
Yuna, who was in charge of home affairs, was doing a superb job. Tanzimat, the Dogman Strategist, had also successfully completed his mission, directing the soldiers to complete the construction of the inner city in advance. Acting on Yang Ling’s command, he recruited many laborers in Jaboli to mine giant rocks nearby, and began to build the big and wide open outer city.
After finding out about the Lord’s plans, the townspeople eagerly joined the building army, enthusiastically participating in the building of their home. For the sake of a safe and prosperous home, and also for the sake of the hefty salary that Yuna was giving.
Yuna was calculative when discussing business with the merchants, to get the best benefits for the domain. But when giving the wages to the townspeople, she was so generous that the townspeople who were struggling to get by, were beyond grateful.
While the building of Jaboli was vigorously ongoing, good news also came from Ashnamov. Under the lead of the guide, the exploration team has officially opened the sea route from the Magical Beasts Realm, passing through Jaboli, sailing to big human cities like Bavaria and Moston. They had also drawn up the map of many of the seas, and recorded the sights and sounds of the places along the way.
On top of that, the female captain Margaret had also sent good news. Using the Water of the Spring of Life, that could cure the Crimson poison, she turned a few strong and powerful pirate captains, and made an agreement with them to fight against the cruel and cunning One-eyed Dragon.
With these pirates secretly working with them, all the ships which hung the Five-clawed Golden Dragon Flag of the Magical Beasts Realm travelled freely on the high seas, even a simple raft with the flag would gain the pirates’ respect!


After getting many pieces of good news, Yang Ling was able to practice his cultivation in the valley without worry.
Like the Terras Forest, the Amazon Forest had an endless supply of energy. In the day, he could absorb great amounts of the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth. At night, he could absorb a huge amount of Astral Energy.
After absorbing an immense amount of energy, the he finally broke through the Body Honing Wizard Mantra bottleneck, reaching a new level. Even without casting the Physical Protection Wizard Power, no ordinary weapon would be able to nick his skin. If an ordinary arrow were to be shot at him, it would rebound back, as if it hit a layer of steel.
After a training for a long time with the Dark Dragon King, the so-called strongest Magical Beast of close physical combat in the Continent, Yang Ling’s close combat and physical defense had improved in leaps and bounds. When they first started training, Yang Ling had to retreat whenever the Dark Dragon King cast Dragon Realm.
But now that Yang Ling had broken through the bottleneck of the Body Honing Wizard Mantra, together with his ultrasonic speed, strong physical power and understanding of the Energy Realm, he now had the ability to battle the Dark Dragon King in the Dragon Realm. They were locked in battle, and he even managed to gain the upper hand at times! He had improved so rapidly and the battle was so thrilling that the Flying Dragon King Seylius, watching at the sidelines, felt embarrassed!
If he continued training like this, how powerful could his physical strength become?
After defeating the Dark Dragon King till it was laying on the ground, Yang Ling was thrilled yet perplexed. There were seven types of traditional Wizardry. From Blood Wizard, Spirit Wizard, Earth Wizard, Heaven Wizard, Divine Wizard, Soul Wizard to Wizard Deity, each level was higher than the other. Every time there was a breakthrough, one’s power would grow a few times over, sometimes even more a few dozen times over!
But there was no such distinction for the Boy Honing Wizard Mantra. As long as he kept practicing and continuously broke through, his physical strength would get stronger and stronger. No one knew what level could one reach if he were to continue training without stopping like this!
Endless practicing and endless breaking through. According to the Stele, this was the powerful and terrifying part of a top level Wizard Warrior!
In ancient times, the powerful Wizard Tribe fought with the people and with heaven and earth. Finally, they met with unprecedented peril. The mountains split, the earth cracked, and the rivers and seas were turned upside down. They were faced with an extremely deplorable environment. After tens of thousands of years, the powerful yet mysterious Wizard Body Honing Mantra was then passed down, to allow a Wizard Warrior to level up limitlessly.


According to the Stele, even though theoretically, one could keep leveling without limit, when it reached a more advanced stage, the speed of leveling would get slower and slower, and one would also encounter various unknown difficulties and dangers.
Would it be a blessing or a curse to let the Dark Dragon King and Flying Dragon King Seylius to practice the Wizard Body Honing Mantra?
At first, after he had successfully broken through to the next level, he had intended to pass the Wizard Body Honing Mantra to high level Magical Beasts in the close physical combat category, like the Dark Dragon King and Flying Dragon King. But once he understood that they would meet with may unknown difficulties and dangers at the more advanced stage of the Wizard Body Honing Mantra, he could not help but hesitate.
The Wizard spells on the Stele might be powerful, but if anything were to happen, the rebound effect would also be very terrifying. Many of the spells on it were either too vaguely worded or not described in detail. It was unclear if it was incomplete from the start, or someone had erased parts of it. Without being certain, Yang Ling also did not dare to try them lightly!

Fatso, damn fatso, come here at once!


Aye, be gentle. My Lady, be gentle. You’re going to twist my ears off!

…
Just as Yang Ling was silently hesitating, the faint voices were heard from outside the valley. There were a man and a woman.
Fatso?
Hearing the familiar exaggerated groan of agony, Yang Ling had a sudden thought. He recalled the Dragon Slaying Troop Team that went together with him into the Montson Forest. After teleporting over to take a look, he confirmed that it was indeed, old friends he had not seen in a long time. Fatso Hans, whose whole body was covered in fat, and the self-proclaimed Team Leader Lia, were arguing intensely. Three others, Archer Lobina, Axeman Maputo and the Knight Halalei, were standing at the side and watching them.


Looking at Fatso with a perky big butt, acting like he was in a lot of pain and was pitiful, Yang Ling smiled and strode out.
Hehe, twist his ear to death. His ear can be twisted off to be accompanied with beer!


Yuri…


His Lordship…

…
Looking at smiling Yang Ling striding out, Fatso, Lia and gang were surprised. They did not expect to encounter him here. In the moment, a few of them called him Yuri, and others called him His Lordship!
Back then, Yang Ling became famous with a battle at Montson Royal Palace. The news of him killing the Santiago Sword Saint caused a sensation. After that, the story of him going a thousand miles along on a horse and overcoming all the obstacles along the way, spread through Monston’s streets. Very quickly, Fatso, Lia and gang found out Yang Ling’s true identity through various sources.

Hehe, welcome the Dragon Slaying Troop Team to our humble Jaboli. Let me know if there’s anything you need. You can call me Yang Ling or Yuri in the future. There’s no need to address me by titles like ‘Lord’ or ‘His Lordship’!
Yang Ling smiled, and lightly patted Fatso’s big beer belly,
Fatso, how many months along?


Oh, about… About half a year!

Seeing the Yang Ling that used to hide in the horse carriage with him to drink and brag, and who used to tease Lia about her chest that was as flat as the calm sea, and thinking of his status and power now, Fatso could not react in time, and thought that Yang Ling was asking how long they had not met.

Hehe, soon. Remember to treat the brothers to a few drinks after you give birth!
Seeing that Fatso had not wised up to the situation yet, and stupidly answered ‘about half a year’, Yang Ling smiled mysteriously and winked at Lia, who was at the side. He then said,
But, Fatso, even though you have a big enough butt, but what can you do if you have a difficult birth? And, which irresponsible person got you pregnant? Is it the child’s dad, or the child’s mum?



Difficult birth?
Hearing what Yang Ling said and looking at the smile on his face, Lia, Halalei and gang suddenly realized what Yang Ling meant. They roared with laughter. Lia, who was always arguing with Fatso, even laughed till tears streamed down her face.

Damn Fatso, is it a boy or girl? Tell us the truth!


Tsk tsk, such a big butt, and round tummy. It must be a girl!


Hai… Such a poor thing, to get a mum that is fatter than a Sharo Pig!

…
After catching on to the situation, looking at his big belly, the conversation among everyone, and how they were all enjoying the chat, with smiles on their faces. Poor Fatso yelped and lunged at Yang Ling, who was standing at the side, in revenge. Unfortunately, he missed Yang Ling every time. After chasing him around for half a day, Fatso was very tired but still, he could not catch Yang Ling!
