Chapter 189: Ascension
Mer Rachel originally expected to receive the Ascension Water in three days at the earliest or a week at the latest. Gothe waited until the 20th of the Frost Moon before being notified to collect it.
"It was supposed to only last a week at most, but something unexpected happened."
Commissioner Rachel explained while handing the water of spiritual ascension to Gothe:
"Border Over there, it seems that some trends in the Holy Empire have been discovered. The Royal Capital has been busy with this matter for the past ten days, so they have no time to review and approve the college's application. "
"Holy Empire?" Gao De frowned subconsciously when he heard this.
After a year of studying at Sires College, he is no longer the ignorant "country bumpkin" he was at the beginning, and clearly understands what this means.
"It should just be that some mages from the Holy Empire Legion happened to be passing by. After the reconnaissance mages at the border discovered it, they were too nervous and reported it directly."
Commissioner Rachel spread her hands and said: "After all, this is the Holy Empire, and you can't be too nervous."
"But two weeks after the alarm was sounded in the royal capital, The alert has been lifted."
"It should be a false alarm."
"Sion is one of the principalities far away from the border of the Holy Empire."
"Even if the Holy Empire is really planning to expand its power to the borders of the Plantagenet Dynasty, the first target should not be Sean."
"There are several principalities separated between Xion and the Holy Empire."
It is precisely for this reason that the alert can be lifted so quickly.
No matter how you look at it, even if the Holy Empire takes action, the principality will not be the first to bear the brunt.
Gaode, who had taken the course "Norland Continent Geography and War Geography", also thought so. He nodded in agreement, no longer thought about it, and took the Spiritual Water from Commissioner Rachel's hand.
Cultivation building, registration counter.
The staff member here today is a young female mage wearing a student uniform. It seems that she should have taken over the assignment from the academy and came to "work-study".
Gaode handed over his identity plate along with the application form given by He Xi.
"Help me open a third-level training room."
The female mage, who hadn't paid much attention to it at first, was suddenly shaken when she heard this, with a look of surprise on her face.
"Level 3 training room?" She confirmed.
"Yes," Gothe nodded, "Here's the application."
The female mage took the application and glanced at it. The reason was written on it: Ring promotion.
No wonder. She suddenly understood.
The female mage checked the application form, took Gaode's identity plate, flipped through the book, arranged a training room for Gaode, and said: "Training room No. 3 on the fourth floor, enter and swipe the identity plate to activate the magic node array."
Gaode nodded slightly, then followed the stairs, and for the first time climbed to the fourth floor of the training building that only belonged to Master Gao Huan.
He found his training room No. 3 and skillfully activated the magic node array.
The concentration of magic power in the training room suddenly soared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and did not stop until it reached the threshold of 1034.
In the small training room, the magic power is so strong that it can be seen with the naked eye.
Gothe sat down cross-legged decisively, and then took out the water of spiritual ascension.
The Ascension Water potion is dark red and as viscous as magma.
Gaode's eyes were slightly stern and he opened the medicine bottle directly.
Although the liquid liquid of Shengling Water is very strong in color, its smell is very light, close to nothing.
He took a deep breath, brought the medicine bottle to his mouth, raised his head, and drank it.
The viscous liquid did not get stuck in the bottle and flowed directly into Gaode's mouth.
A cool and creamy jelly-like texture that quickly fills Gaode's mouth.
It then slides down the throat and enters the stomach.
In an instant, the viscous Ascension Water erupted in Gothe's stomach like magma.
The cool feeling instantly turned into hot heat, penetrating into every blood vessel in Gothe's body.
Gaode knew that this was the medicinal power of the Ascension Water, which was helping him in the first stage of ascension: cleansing his blood and increasing his vitality.
The powerful medicinal power flows throughout the body along the blood vessels.
Gothe's body seemed to have turned into a furnace under the influence of the medicine, and his blood gurgled like boiling water.
His body twitched involuntarily due to the high temperature.
Gothe's skin was all burned red at this moment, and water vapor was constantly steaming out from the pores around his body.
This is the impure factor in his blood, which has been excreted from the body at this moment.
The whole process lasted about a quarter of an hour.
Everything went well except for the severe high temperature which was a bit unbearable.
Gaode is only fourteen years old this year. He is already at his strongest and is in the golden period of being promoted to a first-level mage.
Even without the assistance of the Ascension Water, it is difficult for him to fail in the first stage of leveling up.
The powerful medicinal power of the Ascension Water did not consume much in the first stage.
Soon, they gathered again and turned into a surging heat stream, rushing directly into Gothe's lower abdomen.
There is the magic power.
After the influx of heat, the mana in Gothe's body was no longer calm, and actually formed a mana vortex, spinning violently.
And every time this vortex rotates three hundred times, a drop of clear liquid mana will seep out from the bottom of the mana vortex.
The rich magic power in the practice room, like clouds and mist, is guided into the body by Gothe, and is constantly replenished into the mana vortex.
The second drop of liquid mana began to condense.
Then the third drop, the fourth drop, and the fifth drop.
Soon, Gaode condensed the twenty drops of liquid mana needed to upgrade the ring.
He could clearly feel a full and heavy feeling in his lower abdomen that was loaded with mana.
This shows that the liquid mana has reached its current limit and cannot be increased for the time being.
With the dual assistance of the spirit-raising potion and the third-level training room, the mana liquid was also transformed smoothly without any accidents.
Gaode had no intention of rejoicing, but just worked hard.
The medicinal power of the Spirit-raising Water left the lower abdomen and continued to flow, heading straight towards Gothe's mind.
Boom!
There was a loud bang in his head, the Tianling Gai suddenly became clear, and his thinking became active at this moment.
Countless thoughts came out, messy but clear.
A feeling of déjà vu came to Gaode's heart.
—He also experienced this process when soaking in the water of the deep sea of soul.
In order to cleanse and sublimate the soul, isn’t it to eliminate mental distractions?
But this time, it’s even worse.
Gaode’s thinking became more and more clear.
Gradually, he experienced a completely different feeling from before.
Gaode found that his perception had been elevated to an incredible realm.
It seems as if everything in the world has become clear.
The most important thing is that he can now accurately perceive the total amount of mental power he possesses.
100.
This is the starting standard mental power value for a first-level mage.
Like a god-given inspiration, when Gothe tried to describe his mental strength, this number emerged from his perception.
This is the symbol of the completion of the third stage of the ring upgrade: "precise perception".
Because he has been soaked in the water of the deep sea of souls and washed his soul, this step is much simpler than Gothe imagined, and even goes more smoothly than the first two steps.
The medicinal power of the Ascension Water is just a gentle push, allowing Gao De to easily eliminate distracting thoughts in his mental power.
This level should actually be the most difficult of the four steps to upgrade the level.
Because generally speaking, the progress of most mage apprentices' guided practice will be faster than that of meditation.
So when they were rising to the level, their mana had already reached the limit of the apprentice stage for a long time and had become as smooth as they wanted.
But his mental strength has just broken through to the level of a third-level mage apprentice, and his foundation is more or less unstable.
Three of the four major steps to upgrade the ring have been eliminated, leaving only the last step.
Open up a sea of stars!
