The Wyvern Ring

"Am I going to die here when I just came to this world?" Leylin asked himself, unwilling to die. His parents' kind smile, and worried stern eyes, appeared in his mind. How could he be willing to die? Leylin looked up at the cave and murmured. "If the heavens want me to die again, I will fight the heavens."

He picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at the opposite stone wall. The sound echoed back and forth. A few seconds later, a rumbling sound filled the cave, and then a passage as tall as a grown human suddenly appeared on the stone wall.

"A passage?" Leylin was puzzled for a moment, then stood up and walked over, only to find that it was a secret room. With great difficulty, he looked around due to the weak light in the cave. The space inside was not large, only dozens of square meters, and there was a faint musty smell coming from it. He pinched his nose and took a few steps forward again, and saw a stone table and a stone bench in the middle.

"Hey, it's not an exit," Leylin sighed. He didn't know who was so boring to build a secret room here. He thought that even if it wasn't an exit, there would be something that could point to an exit or something valuable in general, but there was nothing here.

He frowned, took a step, turned around and planned to leave the chamber, but when he turned around, he saw something in the dark corner of the room again, and walked over with some expectation.

When he walked in and took a look, he was inevitably a little scared. There was actually a dead skeleton here, and it looked like he had died for quite a long time. His clothes had long been reduced to ashes, but the long white hair on his head proved that he was an old man before his death. Although it was a skeleton, he had a sense of self-reliance, especially those eyes, which made his hair stand on end.

"Yea, I get it heavens. We all die in the end." He muttered, but suddenly saw a bright spot on the skeletal finger. He took a closer look and found that it was a ring. He cautiously took it off and looked at the carved wyvern in his hand. The wyvern ring finally provided some comfort. He searched again to see if he could find anything else, but there was nothing except the ring.

"One or two gold coins." He murmured, looking at the ring in his hand. The market merchant would definitely pay two gold coins for it. All he needed to do, was to leave this place alive.

"Boy, if you dare to sell the ring, I will twist your head off." A loud and domineering voice sounded in Leylin's mind.

"Who, who is talking? Who's there?" Leylin was stunned and looked around again, but it was still an empty room. Just when he was wondering if it was an illusion, he felt some movement behind him.

"Aaarg!" He suddenly turned around, then screamed, and quickly took a few steps back, looking straight ahead. In front of him was a somewhat blurry figure. But he could tell it was a shadowy image of an old man.

'Boy, have you seen enough?' The blurry figure grinned and said to Leylin, then frowned. He murmured as he looked at Leylin, and suddenly laughed as if he thought of something again. "Hey, a five-elemental warrior? Is it possible that the time outside has changed so much since I haven't been out for thousands of years? Even another warrior of the five elements has appeared. What a great sight." 

"Who are you? What are you talking about? Why can't I understand what you are saying?" Leylin said doubtfully. "I don't want any trouble. I just want to leave this place. If you know of any exit, please let me know. I have to go home as soon as possible, otherwise my parents will be very anxious."

'Boy, do you want to leave after taking my treasure?' The blurry figure glared at Leylin and asked.

"What treasure? When did I take your treasure?" Leylin was a little speechless. At the same time, he felt that there was something wrong with the old man in front of him. Otherwise, why would he come here and say meaningless words.

"The ring in your hand is what I earned through all my efforts back then, yet you dare not admit it." The blurry figure did not run away, but still looked at Leylin with a smile. 

"Why do you say the ring is yours?" Leylin subconsciously clenched the ring. "I found it first."

"You brat, you have no idea what's going on, but you have a tough mouth on you." The vague figure said in a serious tone. "Boy, do you want to become a stronger person? If you do, then it's not a bad idea to give this ring to you. But you have to promise me to do one thing when you become a stronger human."

'Can you make me stronger? Leylin asked carefully when he heard that he could become a strong man.

"Yes, I can." The blurry figure looked at Leylin's expression and nodded with satisfaction.

'How can you make me stronger?" Leylin frowned, ignored the apparition, and walked outside. He saw that the old man was ordinary, with no trace of magical essence in his body. He was just an ordinary person. Leylin knew the magical essence in conveyor's body. Whenever his parents quarreled, their body fluctuations were very strong, completely different from this old man.

"Ouch." Just when Leylin turned to leave, he felt a sharp pain in his head. He suddenly turned around and said to the blurry figure, 'Why do you, an old man, hit people so casually? If it was a younger person, I would have punched him to death, you know."

'When did you see me hit you? 'The blurry figure still asked with a smile. 

Leylin was also confused, but at this moment he suddenly felt a strong kick in the stomach, and his whole body flew backwards and fell to the ground. He was confused again. The attack came from the front, but there was only the old man in front, and he didn't see the old man take action. Could it be that... the old man in front of him was a master conveyor?

'Senior, can you really make me a strong person?" Leylin quickly stood up and came to the blurry figure and asked. He had come to realize that for the old man to appear here silently, he must be a super powerful man. At least stronger than his parents.

'Hmm, so you want to become a stronger person now? I wonder why you changed your mind. Anyway, I can help you, but it mainly depends on you." The blurry figure said lightly.

"Apprentice Leylin pays homage to his master," Leylin said fiercely, then knelt down and bowed.

'Who said I want to accept you as my apprentice, even with your qualifications? I've told myself a long time ago that I will never accept a disciple again, so just give up on this idea." The vague figure glared at Leylin.

"I've already accepted you as my master, so it's done anyway." How could Leylin ignore the opportunity to let a super strong man teach him something that no one else he knew could? 

"By the heavens." The blurry figure sighed and said. "I can teach you how to practice, but I don't agree to accept you as my apprentice. If you really want to become my apprentice, it will depend on your performance in the future,'

"Okay, master."

'Young man, you must practice hard and live up to the expectations of your seniors. Leylin was not disappointed. The old man just said that he was not qualified enough, so he had to work harder.

'Okay, from now on, please call me Hagan, don't call me master, lord, or liege, just Hagan. By the way, the ring in your hand is a rare treasure, called the Wyvern Ring. If you drop your blood on it can you discover its mysteries."

Wyvern ring? A rare treasure. Leylin looked at the ring in his hand, and then began to recognize the significance of what was happening. Under the guidance of Hagan, Leylin bit his finger, and a few drops of blood dripped into the wyvern ring. The strange thing was that as soon as the drops of blood entered the ring, they made a sizzling sound and then disappeared.

"Young man, quickly insert your essence into the ring, and you will know how extraordinary it is." Hagan guided him from the side.

"Oh, okay." Leylin responded, and then mobilized his weak essence to get close to the Wyvern Ring. In the past month, he also learned a lot about conveyance from his parents, as well as some memories that he had originally saved. He also learned about the use of soul power, but the soul power of a warrior-level conveyor was extremely weak, and only the soul power of master- level conveyors and above had extremely powerful soul.

When Leylin's weak soul power touched the Wyvern Ring, a white light suddenly flashed, and then his soul power appeared in a strange space. This space was extremely large area, with lush green flowers, plants, and trees, as well as many mountains and rivers. The most important thing was that the magical essence inside this place was extremely rich, several times richer than outside.

'Wow, if I can practice here in the future, my conveyance level will definitely improve very quickly." Leylin said excitedly as he looked at everything in this strange space, and an urge to start practicing surged into his heart.

"Boy, this is just a glimpse. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Just when Leylin was still excited, Hagan's voice sounded in his mind. He was stunned and withdrew his soul power and said. 'Hagan, what was that place just now? It was so rich in magical aura."

"That is the inner space of the Wyvern Ring. This ring is one of the most important treasures among all existing treasures. Gradually you will discover its more peculiar features." Hagan said lightly.

"Then I can enter it to practice in the future," Leylin said happily, and then chatted with Hagan for a long time.

During the chat, Hagan said a lot of things that should be paid attention to in conveyance, and Leylin also knew that the vague figure of Hagan was actually an essence soul, which had been here for more than a thousand years and had been in the Wyvern Ring.

When Leylin learned that Hagan had an essence soul, he was even more surprised that his jaw dropped to the floor. He was at least a super strong man at the legendary level. Only when he reaches the level of a legend could his soul be separated from his body. Even after death, the soul could be resurrected. 

A soul like that of Hagan.
