In Ronin’s study, he had just spent all 4,500 points of Energy Essence on Elron.

The Great Physician of Wubei Territory seemed to have broken through some sort of bottleneck. A dazzling radiance emanated from him in waves, inspiring an irresistible sense of awe.

When one becomes a Magic Master, the moment the Void Wheel is broken open, one’s Spiritual Power takes a huge leap, and their entire aura is sublimated.

When ordinary people met a Magic Master, they would mentally sense the other’s powerful presence, which would inspire fear or awe.

Ronin looked at the other’s simplified Attribute Panel:

[Elron Faao]: Magic Master (0/9000)

To advance from an Eighth-level Mage to a Ninth Level Great Mage, one first had to fill the progress bar with 9,000 Energy Essence, then use an unknown amount of Energy Essence for the aptitude level-up.

It wasn’t hard to guess that for Elron to become a Great Mage, Ronin would need to invest over 15,000 Energy Essence.

That was a colossal amount.

He didn’t disturb Elron’s epiphany and sat to the side, waiting quietly.

After a long while, Elron opened his eyes. A sharp glint of light flashed through the room and vanished.

"How is it?" Ronin couldn’t help but ask.

"It feels incredible!"

Elron’s eyes were filled with mirth. His Power now surpassed what it had been in his past life.

As he spoke, a history book on Ronin’s desk slowly floated into the air. The massive leap in his Spiritual Power already allowed a Mage to manipulate objects from a distance.

This was just one of a Magic Master’s abilities. In addition, he could now make his Magic Patterns change dynamically, allowing him to cast variable Magic.

For example, a spherical Fireball Skill could now be shaped like a rabbit or a tiger.

In the hands of a Magic Master, Magic had more "guises."

Elron suppressed his eagerness to test his new powers and looked at Ronin with a solemn expression. "My lord, after becoming a Magic Master, I have mastered the ’Evil Purification’ Magic. It has an extremely strong Purification Ability. It can not only dispel Dark Power, but also purify the Power of Evil!"

Ronin’s heart couldn’t help but pound. "Then my grandfather’s injury?"

"It can be purified!" Elron’s tone was resolute.

The weight on Ronin’s heart finally lifted, and a look of joy spread across his face.

He could finally cure Lurans’s affliction. This would be a worthy repayment for all the care Lurans had given him, and it would also put one of his greatest worries to rest.

Just then, Elron added, "If my guess is correct, the Energy from the ’Soul-Devouring Surge’ on Lord Lurans should be called ’Witch Soul Power.’"

"Witch Soul Power?"

A thought struck Ronin, and he couldn’t help but think of the Mysterious Valley in the north of Wubei Territory.

Back then, Natalia had used that so-called Witch Soul Power to activate a Magic Array in an attempt to refine Carlos.

’How could Lurans’s injury be related to this kind of power?’

"What exactly is this power?"

Ronin was puzzled. "When we dealt with Natalia back then, it didn’t feel that strong."

"It is similar to Elemental Powers like wind, fire, water, and earth—a type of Energy that exists in the world, but one that humans seem to have great difficulty mastering."

Elron explained, "What injured the Marquis must have been a magical attack. Natalia is a Knight, so naturally, she couldn’t perform such an attack. What’s more, she was only a Sixth-level."

Ronin nodded. "You seem to know a lot about Witch Soul Power. Have you awakened more of your memories?"

"Yes, my lord. I can now fully recall the memories from my past life."

A look of reminiscence flickered in Elron’s eyes. Recalling his past life made it hard for him to distinguish between reality and dreams.

"In my memories, I was with the Flame Expedition Army—the ten-thousand-strong army led by Ridder. We journeyed a long way to kill a creature that threatened all of humanity. Unfortunately, I never even saw the creature’s face before I died in Flame Canyon along with Ridder, Macken, and the others."

Ronin was a little shaken by his words.

’A ten-thousand-strong army... Ridder truly was worthy of being the Commander-in-Chief of the Flame Expedition Army, to lead a force of that scale.’

’But the most crucial part was the enemy’s strength.’

"What kind of enemy was it that wiped you all out just like that?"

"You’ve heard the enemy commander’s name before. She is called Alyot."

Ronin was stunned.

Natalia, who also came from that Mysterious Valley, had once said that their master was Eliot.

’To think that after all this time, this person would appear in Elron’s memories.’

’It was obvious they were from the same era.’

"Alyot led the ’Witch Soul Race’ we encountered in that valley to the north. It is difficult to kill them with mere Weapons; the only way is to infuse them with Extraordinary Power to break down their witch soul bodies and defeat them."

Elron continued sharing as he recalled the past.

"Although Ridder’s Longsword ultimately pierced Alyot’s heart and killed her, he, like the rest of us, was too deeply corroded by Witch Soul Power and perished in Flame Canyon."

He sighed at this point. ’Why would someone who has already died once be reborn with a second life?’

Ronin couldn’t figure out the reason either. He could only wait until he grew stronger and see if there was a way to uncover the truth.

"I think you should write down your memories."

Ronin suggested, "I believe it would be the most detailed and reliable history book of the world from that earlier age!"

In the Oduin Royal Family’s library, he hadn’t found any history from before the Orland Empire.

Now, Elron, standing before him, was a living history book.

Although Elron’s memories were still fragmented, only recalling the final battle, Ronin believed that after another breakthrough, he would likely gain even more historical information.

Besides him, Ridder and Macken would probably be the same.

’When the time comes, combining the memories of all three might piece together the history of this world from its earlier years.’

"I will!"

Elron said, "Oh, right, my lord. Besides Magic and my memories, I also awakened a new Magic Potion. I guess you’ll be very interested in it."

"Oh?"

Ronin’s expression turned curious. "What kind of Magic Potion?"

"An Awakening Potion."

Elron said mysteriously, "It gives people a certain chance to awaken their Fighting Qi Spirit Seed and become a Professional Knight."

Ronin’s pupils contracted, clearly shocked by the potion’s effect.

He couldn’t help but exclaim, "You truly are a Mage from the Ancient Era. You know so much."

Last time he broke through, Elron gained the ability to create the Support Enhancement Potion, and now he could make the Awakening Potion. ’Is this going to be a full-service package for Cultivation?’

After saying this, he paused.

’The methods for creating these potions existed back in Elron’s time, so why have they all been lost?’

He had a feeling that there was a significant historical gap between Elron’s time and the era of the Orland Empire.

But when he recalled the difficulty of making the Support Enhancement Potion, much of the joy on Ronin’s face faded.

"Are the materials for this Awakening Potion also very difficult to obtain?"

Elron nodded. "The Awakening Potion not only requires more materials than the Support Enhancement Potion, but the rarity of those materials is no less. It will likely be impossible to create it in a short period of time."

"Write down the required materials. I’ll help you look for them later!"

Lurans’s birthday was coming up soon. Ronin could ask Miroslav about this in person.

’If they could produce both of these potions, the impact would be enormous.’

"Elron, go back and get ready. In a couple of days, I’m taking you on a trip to Wushan Castle!"
