When Zero came to, half a day had gone by. The look on Hua Tuo’s face wasn’t pleasant and the boy panicked. Had he done something wrong? "Zero," Hua Tuo started, shaking Zero out of his thoughts. "Did you know what you just did?" The brunet’s memory was fuzzy at best. He remembered burning heat in his body and a power that went out of control but other than that, everything else was unclear. "You fainted," Mii kindly supplied in his mind and Zero blinked. Why would he faint? Then, he…-

In the blink of an eye, a week passed by. They were making good progress and Hua Tuo noticed the significant changes in his young student. Firstly, it was Zero’s physical growth. Yes, it came as a huge surprise because the physician didn’t think that Zero’s body was capable of growing. The boy had been short before even though Gaia said that he was physically twelve years of human age. Zero had grown five centimetres within the week of their travels and Hua Tuo immediately reported the astonishing…

A few days in the dream dimension turned out to be only a few hours in real time. However, Truen felt as if he made a year’s worth of progress with Freya’s patient guidance and Merlin’s absence. He was able to focus on gathering his Parallel Minds in the dream dimension to speed up the analysing process. This was a little trick taught by Freya and Truen took full advantage of Isis’ time warp abilities to cultivate more Parallel Minds. With ten Minds working on increasing his number of Parallel…

Eating and packing were the only things Zero remembered doing for the last few days. He didn’t know that travelling required so many preparations and Hua Tuo explained that logistic planning was an important skill. "Not everybody has an endless dimensional space to store things and the ability to warp a thousand miles to grab a forgotten item so planning in advance is very important." Zero nodded and went through their inventory list once again. Hua Tuo forbade his apprentice to store anything in…

"I... I did it!" It took Zero one week to finally succeed in reviving all the fishes and maybe some birds that Hua Tuo caught. After ten successful revives, it wasn’t even lunch time yet. That was a huge leap in progress and Zero wanted to cry in both joy and relief. Hua Tuo was proud of his student. With such an astonishing rate of progress, the old physician had no doubts that his apprentice will one day surpass him. For now, it was time to celebrate a little. Lunch will be lavish and dumplings…

Truen didn’t know how long he was knocked out for in the space-time dimension but it couldn’t be that long since time flowed very differently. Merlin hovered over his unconscious apprentice and shook his head. He might have gone a little too far, pushing Truen to his limits when he was already in a bad shape. The Sage God only wished that he hadn’t broken his student with the previous stunt. When the wood elf came to, Merlin felt slightly apologetic for going too far. However, he couldn’t…

Zero pulled the needle out gently and held his breath. As the needle slipped out of the balloon, he waited. If the water escaped, he would have failed. If it remained as it was, he would pass. It was coming to the end of two weeks and even Hua Tuo was nervous for the boy. This would determine if Zero could learn acupuncture and surgery. When Hua Tuo demonstrated it, Zero was surprised to know that after the initial sting, it didn’t hurt. Hua Tuo then went to explain how surgery worked and Zero tested…

A month passed in a blink of an eye. Right now, Zero was concentrating hard. The sun was hot but he tried his best to ignore it. He had a task at hand that required everything he had. He couldn’t decide which batch of pills he made was the best. After tasting sixty-nine different batches of pills, Zero stared at almost seventy small pill bottles. They were made using different methods and ingredients but Zero only wanted the best. The honey ones were great tasting but they were not good for fast…

Merlin was quite proud of the wood elf for finding out his secret lesson. It turns out that Truen had a good head on his shoulder, worthy of being Merlin’s apprentice. The wizard was initially reluctant to take on an apprentice other than Zero because many magicians back when he was a human often lacked the ability to create. They were power crazy and full of snobbishness that Merlin couldn’t stand. The brightest of his students back then worked for riches and fame instead of the crown and for the…

Truen ate when he starved and slept when his eyes could no longer focus. Other than that, he was focussed on the task at hand: To record the title of every book. Three days passed and the wood elf was finally beginning to see the fruit of his labour. Information was power. Without knowing what kind of books there were, Truen would be wasting a lot of time slogging over something that could be done using a shorter route. He was done with forty-odd thousand books and the wood elf came to realise…
