After class, Bai Ze dragged himself back home in the evening with heavy footsteps.
Although the afternoon had allowed him to recover a lot of magic power, the physical exhaustion from the battle still made him feel sore all over.
Bai Ze placed the two magic crystals on the table and sat cross-legged on the floor.
He began to prepare for his breakthrough.
In most rules, there was a massive difference between the Familiar level and Refinement level.
Only by cultivating the rules to the Refinement level could one be considered to have completely understood the profoundness within, and the damage of the spells cast would naturally be greater.
However, there were also risks to breaking through, and the probability of failure was not low.
Generally, intermediate or junior mages would only cultivate one rule to the Refinement level in order to reduce the risks.
It was extremely rare for someone like Bai Ze, who was only a magic apprentice, to have learned three rules.
After all, a person’s time was limited, and one’s comprehension ability was also predetermined by nature. If one learned too many things, it would be even more difficult to increase one’s proficiency.
Taking a deep breath, Bai Ze slowly calmed his mind.
Then, he extended his right hand and manipulated the magic power in his body to float in his palm, slowly wrapping the five-colored magical crystal in it.
The material of the magic crystal was very special. It was extremely hard and difficult to be destroyed physically. It could only be dissolved by magic power.
With the constant erosion by the magic power, the pure energy contained in the magic crystal was immediately absorbed through the locus in Bai Ze’s palm.
With the input of energy, the bones in Bai Ze’s palm became more compact, and his physique was also constantly changing.
[System message: Storm Thunder Flash has been nourished by the energy of the magic crystal. Its breakthrough speed has increased by 300%. It is estimated to break through in two hours.]
As Bai Ze continued to absorb the energy, the magic crystals on the table gradually turned white until they were colorless.
This cycle continued.
Four hours later, Bai Ze had completed a breakthrough in both of the rules he had comprehended!
[System message: Storm Thunder Flash has completed its breakthrough. Its current proficiency is Refinement level 1!]
[System message: Icicle Technique has completed its breakthrough. Its current proficiency is Refinement level 1!]
Sensing the surging energy in his body, Bai Ze’s face could not conceal the hint of joy he felt.
In the next moment, his body trembled violently, and his eyelids could not stop trembling.
A burst of golden light suddenly appeared under his feet. Then, the magic power in Bai Ze’s dantian suddenly went out of control and gushed directly into the golden light.
The magic power continued to condense, and in just a few breaths under the nourishment of the magic power, the bright light instantly formed a dazzling magic ring that rotated slowly!
There were even mysterious runes circulating non-stop inside the golden magic ring, adding a sense of holiness to Bai Ze’s aura!
“Is that… a Divine Ring?”
Bai Ze couldn’t quite believe it. He had actually condensed a magic ring unconsciously, and it was of a higher quality than the usual magic ring!
The rings condensed via magic power were divided into three types: Magic Ring, Divine Ring, and Holy Ring!
Most times, magic rings were the products of many people’s condensation, while divine rings were rare, only about one in a hundred thousand people.
The Holy Ring only existed in the Archmage Magister realm. Only when one’s ability had transcended into the Archmage Magister realm could they condense the Holy Ring.
The higher the quality of the magic ring that was condensed, the more powerful the magic power provided when it burst out!
Bai Ze upgraded two rules to the Refinement level in one shot, and the magic power in his body that had been dormant for a long time condensed into a magic ring at this moment. These were things that happened naturally, and Bai Ze had been expecting this.
He didn’t expect the first magic ring he condensed would be at the Divine Ring level!
“System message: You have successfully condensed your Divine Ring and obtained an additional ability: lightning affinity. The damage caused by deploying lightning rules has increased by 30%, and the range has increased by 50%.”
“Hey, there’s an additional reward.”
Bai Ze’s heart was filled with joy. What happened today had far exceeded his expectations.
He obtained the inheritance on the same day, raised his proficiency to the Refinement level, and broke through to the first ring to become a junior mage. He had even condensed a divine ring. Such a bountiful harvest made his heart a little excited.
He wanted to use Storm Thunder Flash immediately to see the effect, but it was already 11 pm, and his room was not spacious.
If he deployed it forcefully, it was very likely that he would crash through the wall while using Storm Thunder Flash.
In addition, the sound insulation here was extremely poor. If he really did that, he was afraid that he would be driven out by the landlord that very night.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart, washed up, and laid on the bed.
He gradually calmed down and finally fell asleep.
The night was quiet, and the sound of a truck passing by could be heard from time to time.
Bai Ze was lying on the bed, a smile still on his face.
The next morning.
As it was a Sunday, the high school was closed.
Bai Ze was going to go to Jiang Qingyue’s house for lessons, according to his agreement with her yesterday.
However, on the way there, he received a call from Qingyue’s butler.
Barely a few steps later, he was picked up by the family car and sent directly to the door of her house.
At this moment, Jiang Qingyue was already standing at the courtyard entrance, waiting. When she saw Bai Ze get out of the car, she immediately went up to him happily.
“Why are you so happy today? Did you pick up money?”
Bai Ze asked curiously.
Jiang Qingyue patted Bai Ze’s arm. “Go to hell. I have some good news to tell you.”
After she finished speaking, she pulled Bai Ze into the hall.
Seeing that the girl was so happy, Bai Ze didn’t say anything, and the two quickly went to the villa’s living room.
At this moment, the butler walked in after parking the car. Bai Ze immediately took out the things he had prepared from his pocket and handed them to Jiang Qingyue.
“Qingyue, this is the money I borrowed from you a few days ago. I should return it to you now.”
The reason Bai Ze was able to pay back the money in advance was also thanks to Zhang Xian’s generosity. In order to beg Bai Ze to play-act, the rich second-generation heir straightaway threw out ten thousand bucks, allowing Bai Ze to solve his debt crisis easily.
“Bai Ze, why are you giving me money? Didn’t we agree that this money is for your tuition fee?”
Jiang Qingyue pouted and said unhappily.
The butler, who was standing at the side, quickly walked forward and took out a check from his pocket. He said gratefully, “Young sir, you’re too kind. Our Jiang family has already received your favor. How could we possibly take more money?”
Looking at the butler’s polite face, Bai Ze was slightly stunned. He was just an ordinary person. How could he possibly give the Jiang family any favors?
Jiang Qingyue saw that Bai Ze still did not understand and immediately said excitedly, “Bai Ze, didn’t you give me extra lessons yesterday? I had a moment of enlightenment when I got home last night, and my ability has increased quite a bit. ”
“That’s right. Qingyue had a breakthrough last night. She’s now at the peak of her third ring and is only one step away from the intermediate mage realm.”
The butler immediately continued without any pause, “Previously, our Jiang family has invited many teachers and bought many potions, but none of them could improve Qingyue’s ability. Now, after you’ve helped her, she’s on the verge of reaching four magic rings. Isn’t that considered a favor?”
