Chapter 4 Growth

  Mo Xin, who can already read and write, spends most of his daytime in the home library, aside from dealing with his brother Mo Jia's annoyance every day. He not only wants to understand this world but also finds a hobby to do for himself to avoid disturbance.

  Mo Xin's reading speed was frighteningly fast, but in order not to startle the people at home too much, Mo Xin slowed down a lot. However, that speed was still very fast compared to ordinary people, and the action looked like flipping through books. The people at home also thought it was just a child having fun, something many people had done when they were young, so they didn't pay much attention to Mo Xin's actions. If they had kept paying attention, they would have discovered that what made Mo Xin different from other children was that he had flipped through every single book in the library, and not one book had been flipped through twice by Mo Xin. This was unimaginable.

  In this way, the books in the family library were read more and more by Mo Xin, and Mo Xin also had a clearer understanding of this world. Although the family library of the Mo family was not as large as those of some countries and famous academies, its collection was still terrifying, after all, the Mo family was also a big family.

  The legend of the Dragon God Continent is that it was established by a great dragon god, and for a very long time after its establishment, the continent was ruled by giant dragons.

  The area of the Dragon God Continent is very large, with hundreds of countries of varying sizes. Among them are four empires: the Divine Dragon Empire, the Empire of Light, the Beastman Empire, and the Caesar Empire. There are also dozens of kingdoms and over a hundred principalities. The most powerful force on the continent is the Temple of Light, whose headquarters is located at the top of Holy Mountain in the center of the continent. The Empire of Light is also directly affiliated with the Temple of Light, and its subordinate churches are spread throughout the continent, almost monopolizing all the sacrifices on the continent. The other three major empires do not dare to offend the Temple of Light easily, nor will the Temple of Light easily offend the other empires and kingdoms, after all, the Temple of Light does not have the ability to rule the entire Dragon God Continent.

  The mainland has various dangerous places, among which the Valley of the Undead, the Misty Forest, the Beast Mountain Range and the Forbidden Land are the four major danger zones. The mainland is inhabited by humans, dragons, elves, beastmen, dwarves, gnomes, dragon people, half-beasts, and half-elves, as well as the legendary sea tribe and the god and demon tribes that disappeared after the great war between gods and demons thousands of years ago. There are also various powerful magical beasts.

  The division of human combat occupations is: warriors, mages, swordsmen, knights, thieves and some other professions such as assassins, summoners, alchemists, etc.

  The division of human power levels is: Apprentice, First Level, Second Level, Third Level, Fourth Level, Fifth Level, Sixth Level, Seventh Level, Eighth Level, Ninth Level, Sacred Level, Divine Level. Each level is further divided into Upper, Middle and Lower three stages.

  Of course, there are also legends of super-god-level powerhouses. In the legendary war between gods and demons tens of thousands of years ago, a large number of super-god-level powerhouses appeared.

  However, super-god-level powerhouses have not appeared on the Dragon God Continent for tens of thousands of years, and now people on the Dragon God Continent do not know whether this legend is true or not.

  Human Knights' Earth Dragon Knights and 9th-level Magic Beast Knights are generally considered to be at the Sacred level. Holy Dragon Knights and Holy Beast Knights are generally considered to be at the Divine level.

  Mages mainly specialize in earth magic, including light and darkness. Fire, water, earth, wind, and thunder systems. There are also rare space, spiritual, and undead systems. In addition, there is the elf-specific plant system. The dragon tribe has its own unique dragon language magic, etc.

  There are many types of demons, and their numbers are vast. Their strength is also divided into levels one to nine. Levels above nine are sacred or divine. The intelligence of high-level demons above level seven is very high. Demons at level nine and above can speak human language. Sacred beasts can transform into human form.

  Demons are generally magic warriors. Their bodies are strong and can release magic, and the speed of release is very fast. Demons are generally capable of competing with people who are one level higher than themselves, which also shows that demons have great strength. In general, demons usually like to stay in mountain ranges or large forests and do not deign to associate with humans.

  The dragon clan is very powerful. The giant dragon's lifespan is very long, at least over 5,000 years old. It's almost the longest-lived species on the Dragon God Continent. Moreover, as the giant dragon's own strength increases, its lifespan can also increase accordingly. A 2,000-year-old giant dragon is considered an adult. An adult giant dragon has at least a 9th-level peak strength. Those with better innate talent are even saint-level strong and have both martial and magical abilities. Their strength is also transcendent. However, the number of members in the dragon clan has never exceeded 10,000. Otherwise, the Dragon God Continent would not be dominated by humans.

  The dragon tribe now lives in seclusion on the overseas Dragon Island. The dragon tribe is extremely proud and does not acknowledge itself as a demon or human, and has always looked down on demons and humans. Only a few giant dragons stay in the human world, generally with humans who recognize them as partners, signing an equal contract. These recognized people are also known as dragon knights.

  Sacred and above Sacred can be called the top martial force on the mainland, and there are only nearly a hundred Sacred levels on the surface of the mainland, with only four God-levels. However, this does not include the strong men of the Elf tribe and the Dragon tribe, as well as those hidden powerful beings. The four empires, one country each, generally do not interfere in the affairs between empires, but rather exist as a deterrent. Their status is quite high, even the emperor of an empire will treat them equally.

  The divine master of the Shenlong Empire is Master Bill, the principal of Ficks Advanced Magic Academy, a fire-type divine magician.

  The Dragon God Continent respects the strong, and with power comes wealth, authority, beauty, and many other things. People are divided into five classes: imperial, royal, noble, commoner, and slave. However, social class is not immutable, as possessing great strength or wealth can change one's status. Each empire and kingdom offers a number of titles every year to attract the continent's top talent to join their country and strengthen its power.

  Reading, self-cultivation, and accompanying family members in life, such a peaceful life, Mo Xin also lives very fulfilling and satisfying.

  Mo Xin's nature likes quietness, freedom and a comfortable life. Mo Xin is not very interested in power and authority, but has some attachment to improving his strength and realm, although it's not too heavy. This is also why Mo Xin's master said that Mo Xin was born to be a cultivator.

  As for play, Mo Xin really couldn't think of what games in this world could attract him. Although his body was only a few years old, his soul was already tens of thousands of years old. Of course, he still had curiosity, which was also the reason why Mo Xin liked to travel everywhere. The Dragon God Continent and all the interesting things in this universe were also objects that Mo Xin was interested in exploring.

  In the eyes of her parents and grandparents, Mo Xin is a typical little magician, intelligent, fond of quietness, introverted in personality, not very talkative, and most of her time is spent studying magic.

  Even in the Imperial Capital, Mo Xin was very famous for his noble status and his unique pair of black eyes. Although he rarely left the Marshal's Manor, almost everyone in the Imperial Capital knew that the eldest grandson of the Mo family liked quietness and solitude, a true little magician.

  "Mo Xin, Grandpa wants to ask you something." Mo Jian, Mo Xin's grandfather, asked with a smile after dinner, in front of the whole family.

  "Grandfather, may I ask." Mo Xin replied with some curiosity. It seems like nothing has happened recently, Mo Xin thought to herself.

  "There's nothing big, I just want to ask you, do you want to go to school? You're going to be six years old soon, and normally you should be going to school. Of course, if you don't want to go, that's okay too, you can also learn and practice magic at home." Grandpa Mo Jian said with a smile.

  The children of the imperial nobility are usually sent to the Tianlong City Noble Martial Arts Primary Academy at the age of six, but there are exceptions, like Mo Xin. In large noble families, children with good talent also learn at home, generally taught by high-level strong family members. This can lay a better foundation for them when they are young and is beneficial for their future growth.

  "This thing is not interesting. At home, I can learn better." Mo Xin bluntly refused, I don't want to mix with a group of kids, that's too boring, Mo Xin thought to herself.

  "Alright then. Grandfather also knew it would be this result, I won't force you, but cultivation can't be delayed, otherwise I'll send you to the Academy." Grandfather Mo Jian said solemnly.

  "Got it, Grandpa, I'll work hard." Mo Xin said.

  "Dad, I didn't get treated like this before. Are you being a bit biased?" Mo Tian said with some dissatisfaction, but he wasn't dissatisfied that his son Mo Xin wasn't going to school. Mo Xin and Mo Jia's natural talents were really good, and learning at home was better for them.

  Mo Tian's military duties were busy, and he probably spent only about half a year in the imperial capital.

  "If you were as smart as your two sons, I would have agreed with you not to go to school." Mo Jian also said directly without giving his son face.

  Mo Tianbai gave his old man a glance, but didn't say a word.

  "All right, you father and son are always fighting with each other, making us younger ones laugh." Grandma said with a smile.

  Mo Jia burst out laughing beside him, and Mo Xin also watched this warm scene with a happy expression on his side.
