Chapter 1113 Breaktrough
[Astrapi - Lightning Institute]
This particular institute of the Magus Academy lies on what is probably one of the most unstable planets in the galaxy. Booming thunders and sparks of lightning were seen all over the planet's surface and horizon.
Taking advantage of this rather disastrous climate, the institute installed a device that was able to receive and absorb all stray lightning that struck the institute, sparing the building from the destruction it should have faced.
On top of the flying construct, there were three-tower, special training grounds eligible only for the Lightning Institute's best and most promising acolytes. In that place, all the abundant energy from the lightning struck was utilized to provide spirit energy which to be used to help an acolyte reach a breakthrough.
A black-haired girl could be seen sitting inside one of the towers. Her eyes were tightly closed as her body assud a lotus formation, which she had been maintaining for days while holding a turtle-shaped jade artifact in her hand.
It was apparent to see that the girl had been learning the complicated markings visible on the turtle's back, and had been absorbed in her profound journey to unravel the 384 combinations within.
At the mont, the one combination she focused on unraveling was the Sky Array combination which involved a combination of three certain elents; Lightning, Wind, and Ice.
The flow of the wind, the ferocity of the sky, and the density of the ice. Each elent has its uses and characteristics. The multiple formations of the particular Arrays gave a pattern, a formula on how the three elents could relate to one another.
Combined with her newly-mastered stage 7 of [Dao Divine Technique], the black-haired girl finally managed to stir a reaction from her spirit core. In the next instant, one new tendril-like energy erged from its surface before forming into a towering structure.
[The ninth pillar was ford]
The breakthrough, however, didn't just end with the pillar alone. It brought certain changes in the foundation of her spirit core that seed to successfully link all three elents with one another in harmony.
[Kleopatra]
[Acolyte rank 9 - High Stage - 9 pillars]
[Spirit force: 955]
[Lightning - 4]
[Wind - 2]
[Ice - 2]
[Water - 1]
Imdiately after, the black-haired girl felt a sensation of power erging from her spirit core. Akin to a volcano, she unleashed the spirit energy that was bubbling within her by throwing a powerful lightning blast into the high sky, producing a loud bang that eclipsed the sound of lightning strikes.
Once she opened her eyes, she found a female grand magus with dark skin and white hair standing in front of her. Recognizing the figure, she gave a respectful gesture before saying, "Master, I have succeeded."
The female grand magus was certainly overjoyed, seeing her current expression.
"Congratulations, Klea. You have now successfully ford your last pillar and linked the three elents." With a smile on her face, she continued, "This will definitely help you in understanding one of the advanced laws, the Law of the Sky."
Hearing this, the calm look the Egyptian Queen had on her face turned to a smile as she once again expressed her gratitude to Grand Magus Ororo who was standing in front of her. The latter looked at her with a fond smile.
"Thank you, master. It's all because of your guidance."
The grand magus chuckled as she said, "Hahaha, you don't have to undermine yourself, Klea. You are a very talented person. I'm confident that you are currently stronger than half of those privileged students..."
She paused for a mont before continuing, "..If only you hadn't wasted your ti on that boy, you would most likely have achieved even greater achievents than you are now." An expression of pity could be seen on the grand magus' face.
Hearing that, Klea calmly stood up, approached and held her master's arm as she spoke with a smile. "What's the fun in that, master..?" the black-haired girl giggled mischievously at her own words.
With her newfound breakthrough, Klea was eager to test her current prowess. Conveying her intention to her master, Grand Magus Ororo surprisingly expressed that she had so free ti in her hand.
As a result, Klea had so spar with her master to test the limit she currently had. She gained a lot from the spars, and in addition, the grand magus even taught her one of her special spells before departing for her business.
As soon as Grand Magus Ororo left the training ground, Klea saw one of the institute staff walking toward her.
"Acolyte, soone is looking for you. It was a young man, and he said he was from your ho planet."
The words spoken by the institute staff carried the final nail that made her day today a perfect whole. A long-awaited breakthrough, a brand-new spell from her master, and now her man ca to pick her up; what more could she ask for?
Thanking the staff for his hard work, Klea quickly walked over where the person was waiting with a cheerful skip. However, the mont she reached the lobby, even though what was waiting for her was still a pleasant face, she couldn't help but be slightly disappointed as the other party was not Ery.
Still, she greeted her visitor with a warm welco.
"Julian! You are back!"
Klea quickly gave the young handso man a hug. She was glad that Julian was safe after his four months journey on the Nephilim planet. After a while, she let go of the embrace and scanned the man up and down.
"How are you? And what are you doing here?"
To her surprise, the Roman seed very excited as he said, "I really want to see a familiar face after my long trip... but I found no one but you!"
A pondering expression appeared on Klea's face at those words, before she nodded in agreent. "Yeah. I think the others haven't returned from their training. As for Ery, he's still in Hyperion."
Finally seeing the Roman once again, Klea couldn't help but talk about what happened in the past four months since they t the last ti. She began from her adventures with Ery, what had happened in the monthly arena, to sharing what the latter was currently doing.
"Wow... there's a lot of things happening in my absence, huh." Julian said with a joking tone. "Anyway, yeah, I saw his new fifth ranking. But still, to train with Zach is really unexpected news for ."
"What about you, Julian? You must have a great story about your life living among the enemy!" Klea asked, very curious about the matter.
Julian could only laugh wryly at her words before saying, "You can't imagine how much I learned.. And so much I want to share..." He paused for a mont. "Everything... Everything I experienced there was mind-blowing really." There was much excitent within the Roman eyes as he said the words.
"I see..." She nodded her head. "You are having a good ti then.."
"Hahaha.." The Roman just laughed at her words, before he turned serious and said, "If you're not busy with anything, I can show you so actually. Do you have free ti right now?"
"Yes, of course! Where will we be going?" Klea said, excitent apparent in her voice. "I have been stuck in the tower for a few weeks now. I can definitely use so fresh air outside."
Julian clapped his hands. "Great. Co with to Hyperion."
The two headed for Hyperion planet, this ti, Klea ca as Julian's visitor. When they arrived there, Klea was surprised to see their arrival coincided with the end-of-the-month arena schedule. She turned to her company and saw the faint smile on his face.
"Are we going to watch the fight?" She asked curiously.
"Just be patient," said Julian, a faint smile still on his face.
After the first fight, the referee in the arena apparently called for a familiar na.
"Next fight! Julian Kaesar!!'
A look of realization flashed across Klea's face as she heard the referee. "Ahh, I realize now. You asked to accompany you here because you wanted to show off didn't you!?" She said while rolling her eyes.
A jolly laugh rang in the air. "Hahaha, indeed.." the Roman looked at the black-haired girl and raised one of his eyebrows. "I thought you wanted to hear what happened to over the last four months, no? So I thought, rather than talking about it, it would be better if I showed it to you in person."
Saying those words, Julian walked into the arena confidently. There, his opponent awaited – a privileged acolyte who was ranked 75th. On the other hand, Klea was curious about what her friend had in store after hearing what he said.
When she caught sight of the information displayed on the screen above the arena, she was surprised to see the words on Julian's information.
[Rank 92: Julian Kaesar (35)]
Julian has a test ranking of 35.
