Main campus!
Located at the foot of the Elemental Mountains, it is the core of the Elemental Mysteries.
the next day.
Ian had been standing outside the barrier separating the main courtyard and the branch courtyards for a long time. He looked up and saw the familiar black line again.
"It feels like something's missing!"
Suddenly, Ian muttered to himself.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the black lines in front of him seemed to have lessened compared to two years ago. "Was it just my imagination?"
Ian frowned.
He pondered for a moment but couldn't find an answer, mainly because it meant nothing to him at the moment.
Providing his credentials, Ian crossed the barrier.
The main courtyard suddenly appeared before his eyes.
A vast expanse of white stone buildings stretched before my eyes, with towering wizard towers appearing from time to time.
The elemental concentration here is more than three times that of the outer courtyard, and this time, Ian saw the source of the black lines.
It originated from the southeast corner of the main courtyard.
At that moment, a faint light flickered on the voucher, seemingly guiding Ian forward, heading towards the southeast corner.
"Is that really the case?"
Ian's suspicions were confirmed, and he narrowed his eyes, a smile appearing on his face.
Following the signs, we arrived at the southeast corner.
A plaza surrounded by ancient stone pillars appears.
In the center of the square stands a huge, arched gate with a surface that gleams like mercury.
Beyond the archway lay not the actual scene, but a swirling, star-like vortex. Several wizards were already waiting there, the weakest of whom had reached the mid-stage of the first ring.
Ian also saw two familiar faces.
One of them was Green Wing, and the other had long red hair and a confident look on his face. He was none other than Abraham Flameheart, who was the number one in their class back then.
"Ian!"
Greenwing immediately noticed Ian from afar and waved to him, while Abraham, who was standing nearby, also turned to look at Ian.
The main reason is that this name is not exactly unknown.
They were considered quite famous among their contemporaries, thanks to their two consecutive articles on elemental latitude and longitude.
However, when Ian walked over, Abraham simply nodded.
The other wizards were the same, only more polite.
After chatting with Greenwing for a few minutes, Ian also started waiting there.
soon.
A wizard in a gray robe arrived and looked at the group, saying, "The usual rule: each entry lasts a maximum of three days. Also, be careful. You can activate your tokens at any time to teleport your spirits out."
Ian nodded.
He had naturally researched the place before coming.
The academy's secret realm is known as the Sea of Spiritual Energy, a realm focused on elemental and spiritual power, which wizards enter in their spiritual form.
"You can go in now."
"7
At this moment, the gray-robed wizard in front spoke, and the vortex behind the archway became even more intense.
Several wizards went in first.
"See you later!"
Greenwing nodded to him, then stepped inside.
Abraham also strode in.
Ian took a deep breath and went inside.
The moment Ian stepped through the vortex, he felt his body change and gradually become illusory.
He has become a pure spiritual projection.
The scene before our eyes has completely changed.
All he could see was that he was now in "an ocean," enveloped by pale blue elemental seawater.
There was no feeling of suffocation, because this was not the real ocean, but rather composed of elements, spirituality, and mental energy.
Ian lowered his head.
He saw the color of this ocean of spiritual energy gradually change towards the depths, and what about his surroundings?
Looking around, Ian could see many small fish of various colors swimming in the ocean, which gave him a faint sense of attraction.
With a wave of his hand, he caught a pale red fish that happened to be passing by. The moment they made contact, a sense of fire attribute entered his consciousness.
"Fish formed from fragments of knowledge and insights."
Ian pursed his lips, feeling his breathing quicken.
This is why this secret realm is called the Sea of Spiritual Essence. The deeper you go, the bigger the fish become, the more insights you gain, and the more dangers you may encounter.
And what about the group of wizards from before?
Ian looked down and could almost see the group of wizards swimming towards the depths of the ocean.
Ian took a deep breath.
His consciousness guided him downstream, but the deeper he went, the greater the pressure from the surrounding ocean became.
After diving for about fifty meters, he slowly stopped. The fish here were now almost twice the size of the ones before.
The group of wizards from before seemed to be deeper inside.
"Let's do it here then."
Ian shook his head, watching the fish in the distance that were moving even faster. Flaming tentacles appeared and then reached out to catch the fish.
However, he is selective; although these fish look similar, he will choose the ones that are more useful to him.
As for how to choose.
Naturally, you should look at the black line.
Ian stared at the ocean before him, his lips twitching, seeing only black lines rising from the bodies of the fish.
Some even seemed to be hidden in the ocean, but the black line still guided him, making it impossible for them to hide.
New usage.
The deepest part of the ocean naturally has the most black lines, and when Ian looks down, he can see that the depths seem to have turned into a pitch-black abyss.
And at the deepest part.
As expected, it was the source of the 100,000 black lines that Ian had seen outside, just as he had guessed.
That knowledge is hidden deep within the secret realm.
It's just a pity that he can't reach it yet.
"Once I reach the middle stage of the first ring, I can dive deeper and explore. I'll find it sooner or later. For now, I should focus on capturing it and improving my proficiency in things related to me."
Ian stopped paying attention and looked at the "fish".
They captured it at lightning speed.
My understanding and insights are gradually growing.
As time went by, he could feel his mental energy being depleted, which made him feel increasingly stressed.
Moreover, it seems that the more fish a wizard absorbs, the more stress it puts on him.
However, perhaps Ian's mental strength was strong enough that he did not encounter any problems.
In the blink of an eye.
Three days have passed.
The group reappeared at the entrance of the passage.
Ian slowly walked out the door, his eyes filled with surprise, and opened the panel.
[Skills: Level 1, Medium: Flowing Wind Core (Mastery 1/300), Instant Pressure Rune (Proficiency 50/200)]
Lower-tier, First Ring: Chaotic Rune (Master Level), Qi Domain Rune (Expert 10/400), Wind and Fire Rune (Expert 10/400), Hand of Blazing Flames (Master Level), Four Symbols Resonance Technique (Master Level), Constant Body Tempering Technique (Level 1 - Master Level), Fire Mark (Master Level)...
Almost all of their sorcery proficiency levels were significantly improved, increasing by at least one level.
The remaining Fire Rune has been upgraded to Master level, and among the Wind Runes, the Chaos Rune has reached Master level, while the others have all reached Expert level.
The intermediate level of the first tier has also been upgraded to a higher level.
This boosted his talent by another 550 points, reaching 4600, with the Body Tempering Technique contributing 200 points alone.
It can be said that in just three days, Ian saved at least nearly half a year's worth of time.
Keep in mind that Ian was only in the shallow layer.
Ian grinned, his eyes burning with excitement as he looked at the secret realm behind him. He wished he could enter it more often.
His talent hasn't exploded yet.
Furthermore, the knowledge previously identified as being worth 100,000 talent points is still deep within; I'll need to find out how to access it later.
"Ian, you're finally out. It seems you've been in the shallowest layer for three days."
At that moment, Green Wing's voice came.
"The shallowest layer?" Ian asked.
At this moment, Green Wing walked up to him and explained, "It's normal. Most wizards will choose a place they can handle and stay for about three days. Of course, some wizards will choose a place that pushes their physical limits, quickly capture higher-value knowledge, and then leave, often not staying for the full time."
Is that so?
Ian was taken aback.
He didn't know that, but it seems he stayed in an extreme place for three days. Does he have such profound knowledge?
But there's no need to explain.
Ian nodded, and at that moment, wizards including Abraham slowly walked out.
Then leave quickly.
Ian also left with Greenwing. A while later, they left the main courtyard. After relaxing for a while, they went their separate ways.
And after leaving.
Ian returned home and began to process what he had learned, his proficiency improving further.
In the blink of an eye.
A month has passed.
Ian did not go to work this month, but took leave, citing the reason as needing to break through to the mid-stage of the first ring.
That is indeed the case.
At this point, all his physical abilities had reached their peak, and the resources had already been purchased.
A top-tier elemental pool was rented.
Take the crystallizing medicine.
Ian began his breakthrough.
One day later.
His mental strength suddenly increased significantly.
It broke through the mid-stage of the first ring.
