Chapter 2352 Rewards
The morning after the celebration, Hall 33 was abuzz with activity as numerous guests arrived to offer their congratulations. Many were emissaries from the lower realms, keen to establish connections with Emery and his hall, sensing the growing influence it represented.
Recognizing the opportunity to expand their network, Klea took the initiative to manage the visitors, effortlessly navigating the political intricacies of their newfound status. Meanwhile, Emery's focus shifted back to his personal growth. The battle with Adam had left a lasting impression, offering him valuable insight into his abilities and the next steps he needed to take to further develop his nature core and refine his spells. With everything in motion, Emery was granted early approval for the academy instructor reward. Like before, he invited Klea and Ashaka to join him at the Myriad Spring of Life. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
This time, their elevated status in the top hall afforded them a generous 7 days in the sacred spring, compared to the high halls' 36 hours. Dividing the time equally, each of them—Emery, Klea, and Ashaka—received 2 days and 8 hours to absorb the spring's potent life energy. It was more than enough to make a significant impact on their strength and abilities.
As they neared the springs, the powerful aura of life energy filled the air, brimming with promise and potential.
Within hours, Klea and Ashaka entered a deep state of comprehension.
Emery went even further. His core, still brimming with the light energy absorbed from Adam, responded intensely to the spring's energy, accelerating his progress. In less than 24 hours, Emery achieved a breakthrough, pushing his realm to new heights.

"The younger generation is truly amazing," Ashaka remarked, his tone sincere as he looked at his two companions with a warm smile. The atmosphere in the spring was one of quiet triumph. Each of them had pushed their boundaries, and the growth they experienced was palpable. It wasn't just the increase in their power but the deeper understanding of their abilities and how to wield them more effectively.
After their time in the Myriad Spring of Life, Emery called for a serious discussion. The lingering threat of the Nephilim echoed in his mind, and he couldn't stress enough the importance of the upcoming duel. Recognizing the stakes, Emery made a crucial decision: he allowed Klea and Ashaka to resign from their positions as instructors to focus solely on their personal training.
Klea immediately understood his intent and responded, "What about you? Will you still be teaching? Who will handle all the responsibilities here?"
Now that they had reached the top halls, the academy rules granted them more flexibility, including the option to bring in additional instructors. Emery had already considered involving a Magus from the insectoid faction, someone from the lower realm allies, and possibly even someone from Terra to help manage the hall.
Seeing the concern on her face, he added reassuringly, "You don't need to worry about me. I can manage."
Klea still decided to stay and continue helping out. The rich energy of the planet and the extended time in the springs offered her invaluable opportunities to further her cultivation. More than that, Klea found herself deeply connected to the acolytes, eager to see them through their final years and witness their eventual graduation.
Despite his lingering concerns, Emery was relieved that Klea chose to stay by his side. Her presence offered stability, especially with Ashaka deciding to step down from his role. Ashaka's decision stemmed from his desire to focus on his disciple, Damo, who was still not fully recovered from past trauma. Ashaka believed he had a way to guide Damo through his healing and needed more time to devote to him.
As the final days of the academy year passed, Hall 33 remained quieter than usual, having no third-year acolytes to participate in the graduation ceremony. Instead, their attention was drawn to a more personal event—the farewell of their instructor Ashaka. The hall's members gathered in gratitude, paying tribute to his guidance and wisdom over the years.
Following the farewell, Hall 33 buzzed with activity as everyone prepared to kick off the new academy year by relocating to their new hall. After two years of hard work and dedication, they had finally reached the academy's most prestigious spot at the peak of the mountains.
