"What did you say?! He's walking again?!!"
"Yes, young master! I saw it with my own eyes. Henry came to see me along with his wife. I'm sure that he is walking on his own without any support. More than that, he asked me if I could share a little spirit dust with him for the sake of old times." the master Jin explained in a hurried tone.
Philip slammed the table. "Spirit dust??!! That bastard is asking for cultivation resources! But this is all impossible. The family healer said Henry will never walk again. Who helped him?!"
The spell master Jin swallowed hard and said, "No one knows how Henry got his legs back. But one thing is certain: he is walking again, normally."
Philip was silent for a long time as he digested the fact that Henry is walking again.
"Did you give him the spirit dust?" Philip asked with his jaw clenched.
"I… I refused, of course. I said I can't give him anything without your permission. Then he got angry and said he will kill me within 30 days. He even left the 30 days on my door." The spell master Jin explained like a victim.
Phillips's expression slowly turned into an ugly sneer.
"It seems like his pride is not dead…"
Before Philip finished his sentence, the family bookkeeper stepped inside his room with a laugh.
"Young master, Philip, you must hear this… that Henry also came to the accounts hall and requested a minor spirit stone."
"And…?!"
"I rejected him on the spot," the bookkeeper said quickly. "Just as you instructed, the minor spirit stones will be handed over with your permission only."
"Didn't Henry make any demand?" Phillip asked curiously.
"Of course he tried. But I said family rules won't allow me to do any favor for him. He seems very disappointed and defeated. You should have seen his face, ha ha ha ha ha." The bookkeeper again laughed at his own joke.
But Philip didn't laugh. The expression on his face turned ugly and angry.
"That useless trash is trying to climb back to his former position!!!"
Philip Walker back-and-forth with fist trending.
"Listen carefully... from today onwards, everyone, including the servants, is forbidden to give any help to Henry… no exceptions! Understand?!" Philip cried angrily.
"Yes, young master, Philip."
Philip narrowed his eyes, whispering coldly to himself.
"If he think he can rise again… I will personally crush him into dust. Henry Clark… I am the only future heir of this family. You are just a passing cloud."

Early morning… Silver Leaf town…
The early morning sun illuminated the Whitestone path on the streets. And all the young children moved in a hurry.
Henry left the Clark family early and walked fast towards the town center.
"This place is not bad for a mortal world…" Henry commented as he observed wooden houses and clean courtyards along the path.
Silver leaf Town wasn't large, but it was filled with young wizards and herb shops. But the most attractive part of this town was the Centre, which was dominated by a chain of lakes, which are called the 'silver pond.'
The silver pond was named after the sparkling silver leaf floating across the surface. And this is also the place for gatherings of young wizards, as the natural aura is abundant at this place during the morning times.
"Still the same as memories…"
Henry arrived early, and there are many vacant spots around the Silver Pond.
Without any hesitation, Henry chose the best cultivation spot, which is a stone platform closest to the water.
He sat in lotus position and closed his eyes. As soon as he started absorbing the natural aura, it flooded into his meridians.
Moments pass as he tries to absorb the Aura as much as possible with all his ability.
But his eyebrows twitched.
"Useless…"
Compared to a spirit stone, this natural aura was pathetic. Absorbing a spirit stone is like drinking a bottle full of water, while absorbing the natural aura is like tasting the fog in air. It will never be enough to reduce your thirst.
"At this rate, I will need an entire month to advance even half a step. Damn… definitely need more spirit stones, and as soon as possible."
Just as he was thinking about leaving the place, an angry voice cut through the air…
"Hey, you… Scram before I kick you."
Henry opens his eyes slowly. There is a short, chubby fellow with an exaggerated angry face. But he wore golden robes and had a long wooden staff in his hand.
"Who are you?" Henry asked with a questioning look.
"I am little Dong… second son of the Dong family patriarch. You're sitting on my spot. Get out." The chubby little fellow Dong replied impatiently.
Henry gave a blank look and gave a cold snort.
"I don't care which dog you are! I came here first… So you better leave before I toss you into the silver pond." Henry gave a little warning and closed his eyes again.
The surrounding youngsters gasped and were almost shocked by the reaction of Henry.
"What did he just say?!!!"
"He called little Dong a dog????!!!!! "
"My God… He is dead… This fellow is dead for sure."
Little Dong clenched his fist angrily, and his cheeks turned red like a tomato.
"How dare you call me a dog?" little dog raised his wooden staff into the air and shouted…
'Vayu Vega dvamsha…" (wind gale strike)
Just as he finished casting the spell, a gust of wind shot towards Henry, like a brown sand wave.
Henry didn't even bother standing up.
She just pulled his broken sword and placed it before him with a smug look.
"Silver sword spell… first form."
'Slash!!!'
A single silver line glowed in a flash through the wind and gale.
A moment later… little Dong froze in his spot.
Several cuts appeared on the surface of his body.
His robes fell apart into small shreds.
His sleeves turned into ribbons, and his pants nearly slipped off…
But Henry showed little mercy... that's why there are no cuts that appeared on the skin of little Dong.
"Wahhhh…!!!"
The surrounding youngsters rubbed their eyes in shock as they couldn't believe the sight. It all happened in one motion and just with a single spell from Henry.
Even though there are many young people present there who belong to the Dong family… They didn't dare to take a step forward after seeing the spell power of Henry.
Little Dong almost cried out like a kid.
"My clothes…!!! Mother!!! Someone help me!?"
Without looking back, little Dong ran away while holding his pants tightly.
"Little kids… Hmmhhh…" Henry muttered before closing his eyes.
