Bloodline of the Wizard-Chapter 87 - 69 Mentor, Facing Setbacks

"The Clear Sky Realm..."

Ronan softly muttered these four words.

After a moment of thought, he closed his eyes and entered meditation once again.

In the void of his consciousness space, the original darkness had completely disappeared.

A point of light hovered at zenith, like a miniature sun, sending out ripples of white light rings, one after another...

A steady stream of spiritual power emerged from it...

"Not right?!"

Suddenly, Ronan’s mind flickered, his tightly shut eyes trembled, and then he quickly opened them.

If there were a second person present, they would clearly see—the color of Ronan’s pupils transform from the tranquil lake blue to a clear brilliant azure, faintly glowing like the most top-quality and lucid aquamarine, imparting an ultimate sense of calm and wisdom.

At this moment, Ronan felt as if his thought process was incredibly swift; every second seemed filled with numerous inspirations clashing and bursting forth...

A breath later, Ronan took out a blank Rune Stone and a Rune Engraving Knife from his Waist Storage Bag and began the process of Rune engraving.

The first blank Rune Stone, trying the engraving of the Advanced Zero Rank [Swift] rune.

Smooth, flowing...done in one go, successful.

Then, the second one.

The third...

Ronan engraved five [Swift] runes in one breath, all successful!

Before this, his engraving success rate for the [Swift] rune was merely under thirty percent!

Throughout the entire engraving process, Ronan’s thoughts were cool and lucid; it was as though his soul had temporarily left his body and, as a third person, oversaw the completion of all the work.

After finishing, his spiritual power hadn’t suffered much loss, still in a state of fullness.

After the fifth, Ronan stopped engraving and took out an ornately patterned metal box. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

It was the mysterious box acquired from Linus.

Ronan attempted to decrypt it.

Moments later...

Failure.

"Still no good..."

The brilliant azure light in Ronan’s pupils dimmed, and a slight sense of fatigue welled up. Shaking his head, "Intermediate Spirit Power Qi Hua alongside the [Clear Sky Realm] still can’t break the Rune Lock on this box... Looks like I have to wait until I’m an Official Wizard to open it."

Even so, Ronan’s mood remained joyful.

Summarizing the effects of the Master Level [Basic Meditation Technique—Clear Sky Realm]...

"A supremely clear and calm mind, and a mana regeneration buff that’s almost like constantly downing an Intermediate Spirit Power Potion!"

"And... it can also be activated during combat!"

These two effects greatly enhanced Ronan’s strength.

The former brought his mindset, combat awareness, and strategic view...instantly to the true Master’s level.

The latter’s significance was even more critical, especially for someone like Ronan, who wielded two types of Extraordinary Magic Realm Power and inherently had an enormous need for spiritual power.

After activating the [Clear Sky Realm], when Ronan releases the [Energy Missile—Particle Torrent], he no longer fears running out of mana in an instant; at least after release, he can maintain a certain combat strength, and the fatal Weakness Period is greatly shortened.

The duration of using [Charging Weapon—Power of Break Magic] can also be extended significantly.

"Now the Proficiency level of [Clear Sky Realm] is only at Master Level 1, as the Proficiency increases, the effect will continue to rise..."

Ronan contemplated, feeling that his decision to focus on [Basic Meditation Technique] was exceedingly wise.

The [Clear Sky Realm] consumes the mind and spirit, which can probably be understood as the portion of energy that meditation cannot fully replace sleep to replenish.

This thing’s composition is very complex and relates to various aspects including a person’s willpower, physical strength, etc.

"Spiritual power reaching Gaseous Level, it’s finally time to challenge the Official Wizard Level..."

Ronan felt his spiritual power transforming like a mist of light, quietly pondering.

What he needed to do next was to find a mentor to clearly understand everything necessary about the breakthrough process of becoming an Official Wizard, including the Soul Seal, combat styles, and other things he only had a cursory knowledge of... to make the final preparations.

With this thought, Ronan didn’t delay, tidied up his Magic Robe, and got up to leave.

...

In the sunny afternoon, Ronan slowly walked down the tree-lined White Stone Avenue.

Occasionally, he saw young wizards in academy robes on the road; sensing the demeanor that only a Gaseous Level Wizard Apprentice like Ronan possessed, they all showed signs of reverence and friendliness.

In front of Ronan, beyond the tall and dense sycamore trees, were small houses with pretty roofs; some with glass tops reflecting colorful lights in the sun.

That was the mentor residential area he was heading to next.

Before coming here, Ronan specially asked Doby, his neighbor, who stealthily told him to start with the house at the farthest left when choosing a mentor.

Although there was no direct correlation between the mentors’ strength and their residential location in the mentor area, the mentors living in the farthest left of the mentor area were usually the oldest, most senior wizards in the academy, with naturally stronger abilities and insights.

Ronan gladly accepted Doby’s suggestion and quickly reached the house at the very first of the deepest left side of the mentor area.

It was a grey-white house with a tiny garden, with a Magic Fountain chattering water on the lawn.

"Rudao..."

The name of the resident was written on a small sign hung at the entrance. Ronan glanced at it for a long time, then withdrew his gaze and stood earnestly at the door.
