After Erix and Rin felt their consciousness drifting into darkness, they were sure they experienced something. But after opening their eyes exactly an hour later, only confusion remained in their eyes.
"Babe, I can’t remember anything," Rin frowned.
"Same," Erix nodded with a weird expression. "But the boon tree...it awakened."
"Our special skill disappeared, but this..." Rin’s eyes glinted as she grinned upon looking at her boon tree.
Indeed. Their special skill, Ignis Ed Intimacy had disappeared since they left Mystic Root’s influence, but they got something else in with this boon tree!
"Do you also have the Yog boon tree?" Erix asked.
"Yep," Rin nodded.

Both Erix and Rin got information on Vitalum Circulation, but when they saw how it worked, both of them were dumbfounded.
Rin also made the same amount of progress as she reached the 7th realm in her Chronace element and the three elements that were the root of it.
And now, they used their 2nd Insight Scroll for the same thing they intended to reach as they could with full force and focus!
They had tasted defeat one after another and it frustrated them to no end, but they directed all that frustration to improve themselves!
Days passed by again as everyone was peaceful, but now intensely progressing as competition among people grew day by day.
After 12 days, Erix and Rin opened their eyes again as they sparkled with the power and purity of meditation that they just finished.
However, the exhaustion came crashing immediately after their consciousness returned to their bodies as their eyes rolled backward and they fainted.
They wanted to reach the 9th realm in their Super Exotic Elements but were a bit short of that and ended their power meditation of Insight Scroll in the 8th realm—Quilo.
Lilith arrived there shortly and saw Erix and Rin falling back with their legs still in a cross-legged position and wryly smiled.
"So they finally surpassed me in the highest element realm."
She could feel the faint ripples of power of their Super Exotic elements that their subconsciousness activated around them as a sort of self-defense mechanism.
But Lilith was not about to give up the spot as the powerhouse of the Unfettered Kingdom that easily.
With the Insight Scroll in her hand that she got from Labyrinth Tower, she sat under the Dreanox Tree.
With anticipation and excitement in her eyes, she immediately used her Insight Scroll on her Super Exotic Element.
Meanwhile...a pair of mysterious eyes manifested outside of the space-continent.
’It seems that they changed the whole game in such a short time. Good. I should give them a hand so they can reach Shadow Bamboo Sanctuary early,’ Tenebria thought.
However, another pair of eyes appeared beside Tenebria’s and spoke, ’Master Tenebria, are you sure you want to add them to us? They just left the Mystic Root’s influence, and haven’t even learned the Arcane Mastery to proper levels.’
’Don’t forget that we only have around 9 months left. Will they be able to progress much during these 9 months?’
Tenebria chuckled and said, ’Two reasons. First, we need trustworthy people if we want to participate in the Axis realm’s struggles and I believe this group is most worthy for us.’
’But if you fail to Ascend, then you might even lose your life,’ the second feminine voice said with a pouting tone. ’Must we take the risk? Surely we can find better people at Shadow Bamboo Sanctuary.’
’Why don’t you hear the second reason?’
’What is it?’
’They have the best mindset that would allow them to bloom their talents and potential. I believe once they reach there, they will progress faster and even learn Arcane Mastery to full within 9 months.’
