One month later.

July 1st, 134th year of Donggu Calendar.

On this day, the fledgling Ascetic Order welcomed its eighth member—the trainee berserker ‘Derek’.

Eight members gathered in a vacant courtyard in the Central Sixteenth District. This courtyard was borrowed by Jonathan, the vice-president of the Trappist Order, from his uncle to temporarily serve as the headquarters of the Trappist Order.

At this time, in the headquarters, the president ‘Lei Lin’, the vice president ‘Jonathan’, and six members were all present.

Among the first members of the Trappist Order were—

Junior magic apprentice ‘Oliver’.

Junior magic apprentice ‘Clyde’.

Junior magic apprentice ‘Hathaway’.

Junior magic apprentice ‘White’.

Junior trainee berserker ‘Sean’.

Junior trainee berserker ‘Derek’.

Two trainee berserkers, four magic apprentices, plus Zhou Yan and Jonathan, this is the current Trappist Order.

Zhou Yan knew that the Ascetic Society was a primitive society and that a small temple could not accommodate a giant Buddha, so all the people he invited in were junior magic apprentices, and all of them were magic apprentices with poor talent who started out in 'healing'.

in recent months.

Zhou Yan visited a magic apprentice from the older generation like Lao Zed. His progress in 'healing' was obvious to everyone. The older generation also praised Zhou Yan's hard work, and many people praised him.

He has an extraordinary understanding of 'healing'.

Passed from one to two to three, word of mouth spread, and within a certain field, the trainee magician ‘Leylin’ of the Magic Church in the 12th District of Central District was somewhat famous.

Zhou Yan learned some information about this year's new magic apprentices through various channels. With such a reputation and his exciting words, he quickly invited four magic apprentices.

They mastered the 'healing technique' almost at the same time as Zhou Yan, but in just over five months, Zhou Yan's healing technique has already reached the fifth level, which can be said to be unparalleled. Look at these four in the Ascetic Order

, the one with the highest level is undoubtedly the only girl 'Hathaway', but her 'healing technique' has only just reached level three, which is far behind Zhou Yan.

This is real ability.

Therefore, Zhou Yan has a certain degree of credibility among these four people.

As for the two trainee berserkers, they were all invited by Jonathan. Under Zhou Yan's bewitchment, Jonathan was even more interested in the 'Ascetic Order' than Zhou Yan, and he strictly controlled the membership standards. In addition,

His reputation among the trainee berserker warriors in the same group was average, and even if there were those he liked, it would be difficult to invite him in.

High standards.

Little reputation.

So after a month, Jonathan only invited these two. The latter one, 'Derek', who had just officially joined the club today, was willing to join, mostly because of Zhou Yan's reputation.

Within the headquarters.

After the handsome and tough Derek introduced everyone, he walked up to Zhou Yan and said with admiration: "I have heard an uncle mention the name of the president a long time ago, saying that there is a trainee magician in the magic church in District 12 for several months.

I walked around the dungeon and asked people about magic, and I made rapid progress. I was just about to get to know them. This time Jonathan found me, mentioned the president, and introduced me to the Trappist Order, and I immediately agreed."

Derek is a tall man, but he looks like an admirer in front of Zhou Yan.

On the one hand, he admired Zhou Yan's deeds, and on the other hand, he was moved by the program and purpose of the Ascetic Society.

Practice hard!

help each other!

Cast out demons!

Rebuild civilization!

These slogans are too appealing to a hot-blooded young man like Derek.

"It's all the elders who love me."

Zhou Yan smiled when he heard this and said, "You are welcome to join the Ascetic Cult."

"I--"

Derek was a little excited. He looked at Zhou Yan and was a little confused: "Don't you need to test me?"

"Ha ha!"

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Among them, the little man White said in a funny way: "Expelling demons and rebuilding civilization is not about treating guests to dinner, writing poems, or painting oil paintings. It cannot be so elegant, so noble and calm, so gentle, kind, respectful, temperate, and humble. The prerequisite for this is to practice hard.

, help each other. Especially if we practice hard, we must start from ourselves and persevere. If you can endure hardship and have ambition, you can join the ascetic society. Even if a cheater comes in, he will not be able to stay in our ascetic society.

.”

This is what Zhou Yan said to them a few days ago. White wrote it down and imitated it.

Zhou Yan added with a smile: "The Ascetic Order has no benefits and does not require any tests. Those who can always implement the Ascetic Order's program and unswervingly follow the path of ascetic cultivation, mutual assistance, and monster hunting are our companions. If you slack off,

, it’s easy for everyone to get together and relax.”

"I will definitely be able to persevere!"

Derek listened carefully and then nodded solemnly. Then he asked again: "Then what do I have to do now?"

Zhou Yan shook his head: "There is no need to do anything. We are all still weak at this stage, and the Ascetic Society is also still weak. All we have to do is practice hard and improve ourselves. This is what I want to say today. Starting from tomorrow, I will retreat at home

Cultivation. In the next half year, the members of the Ascetic Society will gather once every half month to exchange their practice experiences and talk about interesting things inside and outside the dungeon. If there is anything else that needs to be done at other times, leave it to Jonathan to handle."

"Retreat?"

Derek and others were stunned when they heard this, looked at Zhou Yan and asked: "Why do you want to retreat?"

The Trappist Order has just been established, and they are full of enthusiasm and thinking about doing something big.

Zhou Yan poured cold water on them.

On the side, Jonathan, who had been inspired by Zhou Yan for a long time, could not hide his pride when he heard this. He laughed and said: "That's a good thing! Leylin has learned a lot about healing techniques in the past few months, but there are also many issues that he has not thought clearly about. This

A retreat is to sort it out more systematically. When he comes out of retreat, almost 60% of the magic sigils will have sunk into the ocean of magic, and the healing skills will reach level six."

"Level 6 healing technique?!"

As soon as Jonathan finished speaking, Hathaway couldn't help but say: "Many seniors in the Magic Church only master sixth-level healing skills. This -"

Whether it is zero-level magic, one-level magic, or more advanced magic, level six to level seven is a big threshold.

Reaching level six means reaching a limit.

Among the twelve magic churches in the dungeon, the older generation of magic apprentices have been studying healing techniques for decades, and most of them are stuck at level six.

And what about Zhou Yan?

He is only sixteen years old and has only been a junior magic apprentice for more than five months. Now he is about to hit the sixth level?

Even if it takes more than half a year to achieve it, it will only take about a year of practice.

This is really scary to say.

Another magic apprentice, Oliver, couldn't believe it, but thinking about Zhou Yan's previous achievements, he felt that there was hope: "The president can raise the healing skill to level five in just half a year, and it will take more than half a year to reach level six."

It’s not impossible.”

only--

Level 5 in half a year!

Grade 6 in one year!

Are you a human?

Zhou Yan smiled at everyone: "I'm sure."

He is indeed sure.

Healing requires 8,100 experience points from level 5 to level 6. Zhou Yan has accumulated more than 3,000 experience points during this period after reaching level 5, leaving less than 5,000 to advance to level 6. Even if calculated based on 5,000, according to the current

With a guaranteed minimum of 18 experience points every day, it can be achieved in about nine months.

During this period, the magic value will increase to a certain extent, plus the experience value gained from communicating with Hathaway and others every half month, nine months will be more than adequate.

…

at dusk.

Derek, Hathaway and others left one after another, and Zhou Yan and Jonathan also returned home.

When Jonathan returned home, he found that his uncle Dalton was also at home.

"uncle."

Jonathan has had a good relationship with his uncle since he was a child. This time the Trappist Order needed a courtyard as its headquarters, and Jonathan asked his uncle Dalton for it.

"Oh! It turns out that our little mad warrior is back!"

Dalton stood up and gave Jonathan a hug: "How is the ascetic society between you and little Leylin going? Do you need my help?"
