"Nothing." Aiden said with a calm voice.
To Eric, Aiden had saved him.
But to Aiden, he had just happened to run into the Iron Dragon boss, and had just happened to have the ability to kill it.
"Warrior God Guild?" Aiden raised an eyebrow, a little surprised in his heart.
Just a moment ago, when he was out in the wild, he had met the daughter of Warrior God Guild, Selena. Was this really that lucky?
Eric nodded. "Yes, Warrior God Guild. For someone like you, it shouldn't be a big deal. You even learned a forbidden spell, and you've been holding back your level to train, right? That's really scary. May I ask, what grade are you currently at?"
After hearing Eric's words, Aiden smiled a little, a little amused.
Forbidden spell...
He had never even seen one. He had only read a little about them in high school textbooks.
This kind of thing was way stronger than regular skills.
You could say that even the weakest forbidden spell could crush an Epic skill book.
And what Aiden had just used was only a Platinum Rank Blazing Tornado.
The reason it was so strong was because Aiden was cheating.
Yeah.
Calling it cheating was completely fair. Aiden had treated the high-end damage boost potion like water, drinking almost a hundred of them in one go. It was totally reasonable for the skill to look so flashy.
"Sorry, my Lord, I talked too much." Eric saw that Aiden wasn't speaking, and immediately took a sharp breath, bowing and apologizing again and again.
"Hmm."
Aiden said calmly, "Nothing else, I'll be going."
Then, Aiden walked toward the Iron Dragon's body, planning to just collect some important materials and leave.
After all, the whole body couldn't be moved. At least he should dig out some useful parts.
At that moment, when Eric saw Aiden's action, he rushed over quickly, his voice a little hesitant, and said sincerely, "Lord, are you running out of storage space?"
Aiden was surprised, and nodded. "Hmm."
"I see." Eric looked like he just got it. "You must be a genius from another state, right? You're probably also a student in this batch, and about to take the College Testing, right? Just like our guild's daughter Selena, she's also going to take the national College Testing in a few days."
"I've heard that top talents from places like the capital and the magic capital are sent to other states to train by schools or families. They also hold back their levels and challenge higher-level bosses. Only that way can they train real combat awareness in a desperate situation and improve their fighting power. I never thought I'd get to meet a young Lord like you."
Eric took a deep breath and said thoughtfully.
Aiden, on the other hand, just looked like he had no idea.
What the hell?
He had a strong imagination.
Calling a Platinum Rank skill a forbidden spell was already okay, and he even thought Aiden was a student from another state taking the College Testing.
Training?
Yeah.
Aiden wasn't holding back his level to train. He was just barely 10th level.
Aiden's lips curled up a little, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Then, next to him, Eric raised a container with both hands.
Aiden's eyes lit up.
"This thing is only as big as a ring, but it can store a huge amount of items. This Iron Dragon boss should fit in it too. This is my way of thanking you. Please accept it, Lord." Eric said with a sincere tone.
Aiden paused for a moment, then nodded. "Okay."
Then he just tossed out ten high-level healing potions and ten high-level mana potions.
"Here, these are for you."
After thinking for a while, Aiden also tossed out the Iron Dragon Wing he had just gotten - a Diamond Rank material!
"Here, this is for you too."
The container Eric gave Aiden was only a Gold Rank item.
But.
At Eric's level, it was almost impossible to own a Gold Rank gear. This thing was most likely something he had found by accident and kept for years. Now he was just giving it away.
Aiden didn't want to take advantage of him. He tossed out the Diamond Rank material.
He still had 999 of them left, after all.
"What! What is this?!" As soon as Eric saw the wing, he got excited and shocked, his hands were shaking. His expression was full of fear and excitement.
"No no no, Lord, I can't take this! A Diamond Rank material! This Iron Dragon boss didn't drop just this, right?!"
Eric's voice was shaking.
He wasn't wrong.
Iron Dragon Tetian was just a Diamond Rank dragon!
Diamond Rank, 30th level.
Dropping one dragon wing was already pretty good.
But Aiden had a 1000x critical hit, which boosted it to 1000 dragon wings.
He gave one to Eric, and still had 999 left.
"Take it." Aiden said calmly.
The next second, he raised his hand, and the container sucked in the Iron Dragon's body.
Overall, the value of the dragon's body was way more than just one dragon wing. Aiden didn't lose out on this deal.
And the 20 potions weren't that expensive either.
"Thank you, thank you, Lord!" Seeing Aiden's slightly angry expression, Eric quickly bowed again, his voice full of sincerity. He was really impressed by Aiden.
In Eric's eyes, Aiden was definitely a young Lord from a top family. No ordinary high school senior could have that kind of presence!
He looked at the sky, squinted a little. After a day of intense fighting, he was a bit tired. He lifted his legs and walked toward The White City base.
Behind him, Eric bowed again, then raised his voice and said, "Lord, goodbye."
Aiden's voice said softly, "Goodbye."
As Aiden left, Eric stood there for a long time.
Then a group of people started gathering around him - all the surviving Reclassers who had just survived.
They all looked shocked and speechless!
The scene was completely silent.
No sound at all - so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
After a long silence, the shock finally broke into a big noise.
"Oh my God? Forbidden spell! This is crazy!"
"This is insane! Where did this young Lord come from? The Magic Capital? Or a hidden heir from the Imperial Capital? This is way too over the top! A 10th-level player mastering a forbidden spell?!"
"Idiot, what 10th level? He's just holding back his level to train himself! You think a 10th-level player can master a forbidden spell? Do you think you're a once-in-a-century genius?!"
"This is crazy! He killed a red-name boss in one hit! Unbelievable!"
"I was about to die back there! I thought we were done for! Then this top-tier powerhouse shows up! What level is this young guy even at? He can't be lower than the mayor's level, can he?"
"Shh! Stop talking, don't piss off this kind of god-level guy! He could kill you with a flick of his finger. Shutting up is better for you!"
"Yeah, you're right! He's really something. Hey, isn't that Eric? The head of Warrior God Guild? What? You've got a wing in your hand? That's the reward from Iron Dragon, right? A Diamond Rank material!"
"..."
The scene exploded with noise!
Everyone was shocked to the core, witnessing a top-tier genius in action. So young, so handsome - everyone was gossiping about Aiden's true identity.
And they all started imagining his background.
From a top-tier city - either the Imperial Capital or the Magic Capital.
And he was holding back his level, fighting above his rank to train himself.
Only by pushing himself to the edge could you learn stronger combat skills.
When the crowd realized that Eric was holding a huge wing material in his hands, they were all stunned.
The wing looked like a smaller version of the Iron Dragon's, and it was about six or seven meters long.
Eric just held it in both hands, standing there.
It left everyone speechless.
"This... this is what that Lord gave me. He gave it to me." Eric said with a bitter smile, telling the truth.
Then, he briefly explained what had just happened.
And the next second, everyone was stunned again.
