Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

Greystone City is small, nestled between two low hills.

The Grey Feather family's residence occupies a small part of the eastern street, with mottled walls and a half-worn family crest engraved on the lintel.

The family is full of energy because of the two little ones.

Lin Chen is very smart, learns quickly, and has many questions.

Sometimes when Lynn didn't have time to spend with him, he would take his books and go to find Arya.

Arya was a second-class wizard apprentice and knew quite a lot, but she still shook her head when her son asked her questions.

"Why do you ask so many strange questions, child?" Aria said.

"The book doesn't explain enough; it doesn't resolve my doubts," Lin Chen said.

"Then when you become more skilled, you can fill in and improve it yourself."

Lin Chen nodded seriously: "Okay, I want to write a book that's thicker than a library."

Hearing this from the side, Lin Yao clapped her hands and said, "Then I want to read the books my brother writes in the future!"

Lin Chen scratched his head sheepishly, "I just said it casually."

"You can't go back on your word," Aria teased him.

Lin Chen puffed out her chest: "I won't go back on my word!"

Lin Yao ran over and tugged at Lin Chen's sleeve: "Brother, play with me!"

"Let me finish my meditation for today first," Lin Chen said.

"No, I want it now!" Lin Yao pouted.

Lin Chen looked at Ailiya, then at Lin Yao, and finally sighed, "Let's go then, we can only play for a little while."

Aria smiled as she watched the two little ones run off hand in hand.

In the corner, Lynn appeared out of nowhere, watching everything with gentle eyes.

He felt that the dusty little courtyard was exceptionally warm and cozy.

With his exceptional talent, Lin Chen's cultivation progressed rapidly. After mastering the meditation technique, his mental strength increased quickly.

Lynn spent time teaching him every night, from the most basic mental energy management to energy protection and then to astral perception.

Lin Chen is also very quick to learn and has a high comprehension level.

However, the Gray Feather family's foundation was too weak, and the Starry Sky system was relatively rare. They couldn't produce any Starry Sky witchcraft or meditation techniques.

The most powerful member of the family, the patriarch Lynn, specializes in the soul system and only has basic knowledge of other systems.

Lynn had worried about this matter several times and even considered sending Lin Chen to a specialized Star System force for training.

But the child was too young, and he couldn't bear to part with him, also fearing that his son would suffer outside.

Lin Chen himself didn't have that many worries. He relied on basic meditation to continuously accumulate spiritual power and learn other types of witchcraft.

This is like having a gun but no bullets of the corresponding type; even if your skill level improves, you still won't have much combat power.

Lin Chen grew quickly; by the age of six, he was already taller than other children his age.

He has strong bones and muscles, ridiculously strong strength, and reaction speed far beyond that of ordinary people.

Seeing his son's exceptional physical talent, Lynn instructed the head guard, Iron Fang, to teach him knightly training methods, which would also compensate for the wizard's lack of close-combat ability.

Iron Teeth is a man of few words, but he has real skills.

In addition to training his body every day, he also had Lin Chen practice the most basic sword stance for half a month, swinging the sword a thousand times a day.

While other children complained after the third day of practice, Lin Chen became more and more energetic as he practiced.

"This physique is that of a natural-born knight," Iron Fang rarely praised.

Lin Chen wiped his sweat and grinned, "Uncle Tie, does that mean I'm even more powerful than someone who practices witchcraft?"

"Don't compare them," Iron Teeth said. "Both have their own strengths, and both require practice."

Lin Chen said "Oh," and then raised his sword again to continue swinging.

Iron Teeth stood to the side watching, nodding more and more as he watched.

Later, Iron Teeth began to teach him the top breathing techniques collected in his family.

That breathing technique is called "Corona Breathing." It is said that when practiced to a high level, one can transform into a great sun and burn away everything in the world.

The Gray Feather family has possessed this breathing technique for many years and has treasured it, but no one has ever mastered it.

The first time Lin Chen practiced the Corona Breathing Technique was at dawn.

He sat cross-legged in the courtyard as the sun rose from the low hills in the east, its rays filtering through the leaves of the old trees and falling upon him.

Iron Fang stood guard nearby, remaining silent.

Lin Chen closed his eyes, his chest rising and falling slowly with the morning light.

At first, it was very calm, and the breathing was barely audible.

After a while, he suddenly frowned.

He felt as if the sun overhead had gained weight, and the light was no longer just light, but a warm current flowing into his body.

"Uncle Tie, I think I'm... in sync with the sun," Lin Chen whispered.

Iron Fang's eyes sharpened: "Don't stop, continue."

Lin Chen continued breathing.

The warm current grew stronger and stronger, like a scalding river flowing through his bones.

His body began to glow, and a very faint layer of gold rose to the surface of his skin.

The sun seemed to brighten slightly, echoing the golden light shimmering on Lin Chen's body.

"It's done," Iron Fang said in a low voice.

What terrifying talent! The young clan leader's knightly talent is probably no less than that of a wizard!

Lynn, who was hiding in the shadows, nodded to himself, not surprised by Lin Chen's terrifying knightly talent.

He had examined Lin Chen's body when he was born, and after spending so many years with him, he naturally knew how abnormal his body was.

If he were sent to the Knight Academy, this kid would definitely be trained as a once-in-a-millennium genius!

The "Corona Breathing Technique" also seemed to be specially prepared for Lin Chen, perfectly matching his attributes and personality.

After all, the sun is also a star!

After that day, Lin Chen's breathing technique improved by leaps and bounds.

When he cultivates, he can always resonate with the sun, as if the great sun in the sky is burning in his chest.

Before long, he condensed a golden knight seed.

When the news reached Lynn's ears, he had just returned from outside and couldn't help but sigh at the perversion of his son.

Although it is easier than the path of a wizard, the seed of a knight is not so easy to form; many knights and squires have failed to form it in their entire lives.

Lynn walked to the edge of the training ground and saw Lin Chen sparring with Tieya.

The two stood in the middle of the field, with Tieya holding an unsharpened short sword.

Lin Chen held a standard longsword, and his body was surrounded by a faint golden solar aura.

"Come here," Iron Teeth said.

Lin Chen didn't stand on ceremony and charged forward with a leap.

His speed was faster than that of a six-year-old child; his longsword drew a golden line, slashing straight at Iron Fang's face.

Tieya parried with his short sword, and the blades clashed with a clang.

Lin Chen's wrist went numb from the shock, and he took a half step back before unleashing another horizontal sword strike.

Iron Teeth didn't parry this time; he simply dodged to the side.

Lin Chen's sword technique was too slow, and Tie Ya's short sword was already pointing at the back of his neck.

"You've lost another move," Iron Teeth said.

"Again!" Lin Chen didn't give up and turned around to attack again.

The two exchanged blows for over a hundred moves in the training ground.

Lin Chen's fighting spirit grew stronger and stronger, and the golden light almost enveloped his entire body.

He suddenly let out a low roar, thrusting his longsword forward, and a burst of light, like the blazing sun, erupted from the tip of the sword.

"Great Sun Slash!"

Tieya's eyes lit up, and his short sword also burst with fighting spirit. He slashed upwards, using a bit of force, to deflect the sword.

He took two steps back, shook his numb wrist, and said:

"Alright, young clan leader, you are indeed exceptionally talented. If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on."

Lin Chen was exhausted and drenched in sweat, leaning on his sword against his knees to catch his breath, but asked with a hint of suspicion, "Uncle Tie, did you hold back?"

Iron Teeth chuckled but didn't answer. Instead, he turned to Lynn on the sidelines and asked, "Chieftain, what do you think?"

Lynn nodded, his tone revealing satisfaction: "Not bad. With knightly skills alone, you can already hold your own against Iron Fang. If you can add witchcraft to your repertoire, you'll be hard-pressed to find a match among your peers."

Hearing his father praise him, Lin Chen immediately straightened his back: "Dad, I also think melee combat is more fun than witchcraft!"

"It's fun, but the path of the wizard is the real road to success, and one cannot neglect spiritual power," Lynn said.

"Understood!" Lin Chen nodded.

As he said this, he had already run to the side with his sword in his arms.

Lynn smiled as she watched her son's lively figure bouncing around.

This child is indeed like a weed; give him a little sunshine and he'll grow wildly.

I hope he can always remain sunny, enthusiastic, and cheerful.
