The first Elemental Sword Aura class brought Xiao Lin a lot of pleasant surprises. It gave him a lot more anticipation for the courses during the new semester. Professor Zhang wanted him to first try interacting with the elements, learning how to condense new elemental energy from death energy was the first step.

Xiao Lin worked hard digesting what the professor said when he went back to the dormitories after the class, including writing down everything he had memorized. Based on what the professor had said, he needed to revise his necromantic meditation. He never expected that the sudden urge to learn necromantic meditation in the library back then would be so useful now.

However, it was hard to work on necromantic meditation within the academys isolated space. Even the professor said he only managed to grasp the method in the New World. The academys space did not possess death energy, which caused many problems for necromantic meditation.

Death energy represented death, but under the protection of the Law of Immortality within Dawn Academy, death was very rare. However, Xiao Lins eyes quickly lit up; he remembered he had something he could use to represent death energy, which was what Silverlight had left behind for him: the black knight!

Back then, on Silverlight Lake, Onyxia had improved his undead swordsman into a black knight, and after that, Silverlight had stayed in his spatial ring when she followed him out from Silverlight Lake, and had brought in the black knight since his Holy Soul Sword had been broken.

Ever since the black knight had turned into one of Silverlights possessions, Xiao Lin had lost the ability to summon it, especially since the destruction of the Holy Soul Sword had led to his mental connection to black knight being weakened.

It was a pity that Silverlight had passed away on Earth. Thinking about the princess, Xiao Lins face saddened as he touched his forehead. His forehead was smooth as normal. Even though Silverlight said that she had given her third eye to him, after they left the bottom of the sea, Xiao Lins bump on his forehead had disappeared.

As the mark of Atlantean royalty, the eye was difficult for outsiders to control. Silverlight said that Xiao Lin could, but it did not mean she meant the current Xiao Lin. Xiao Lin might possess the potential, but he was too weak at the moment. He could somewhat feel the connection to the eye, but activating it would require tremendous amounts of energy, so he had yet to try.

Xiao Lin sighed, focusing his attention on the ring in his hand. The spatial ring had been Silverlights temporary residence, and he never interfered with it, but the layer of protection had stopped rejecting Xiao Lin like before, instead immediately letting him in.

Xiao Lin understood after a brief pause. Silverlight must have not planned to return after she had used Time Rewind before, and had already released the shield surrounding the ring for Xiao Lin, yet she did not completely remove it. Even if the ring was lost, other than Xiao Lin, anyone who could not rival Silverlights mental strength which had accumulated over thousands of years would not be able to use the spatial ring.

Xiao Lin was quite touched. It might not have been much of an effort to Silverlight, but to him, it was an extremely valuable treasure. The ring was now a spatial ring that belonged completely to him.

When his spirit looked past the entrance to the ring, Xiao Lins mind had a feeling like it was suddenly being expanded. What his mind reflected back to him was an unfathomably large space. The space was as big as a city. As a ring made from pure starmetal, forged by the hybrid Hammerhead, it was basically perfect.

However, when it was first forged, Xiao Lin had known the space was large, yet completely empty, just like a completely new isolated space. It was a desolate land, yet in a short time, Xiao Lin sensed a lot of things within the ring. They were simple things, such as trees and flowers, earth and streams. It was not a lot, but there were still traces of life.

It was unbelievable!

Xiao Lin was shocked. However, amongst all the life, he quickly felt an unusual aura of death. The black knight was standing silently in the center of the grass fields, not moving and not speaking. It was just standing there, as if waiting for its masters commands.

Xiao Lin tried to communicate with it, and then tried issuing an order. He breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed that the command worked. He had been worried that black knights evolution coupled with the long period of not communicating had lost him the power to command the black knight. If that was it, he was willing to leave the black knight within the isolated space. Otherwise, a black knight that did not listen to orders would have brought him or someone else unneeded problems.

He had the urge to slowly explore the new space that Silverlight had opened, but it was not the time to do so. Exploring the isolated space would consume a lot of mental energy, so he retreated quickly after establishing a connection with the black knight, since he had already felt a mental toll.

The black knight was quickly released, and it was still in the dark, dull armor. Only its two eyes emitted a strange green glow. It stood quietly in the room, seeming quite obedient. Xiao Lin did not dare bring it outside. It was one matter to scare the other students, but if the student union treated it as a dangerous being and confiscated it, he would suffer a great loss.

That was why he performed his necromantic meditation alone in his dormitory.

Compared to the undead swordsman from before, the evolved black knight had a much larger reserve of death energy. The death energy even materialized in a faint black mist. It was a power the black knight naturally possessed. It was a pity that when Onyxia forced it to evolve with the skeletons that had been accumulated over many years, there was a sense of prematuredness. That was why the black knight was actually still in a somewhat weakened state. It was actually a lot weaker than those black knights that naturally evolved after hundreds of years of experience. Of course, it was Silverlight that told him so.

As for how he could use the black knight that was stronger than even himself, Xiao Lin had no idea for the time being. That was why he was merely using the black knight as a source of energy at the moment, leaving it in his room as Xiao Lin entered necromantic meditation, using the dense aura of death around the black knight to improve his necromantic meditation.
