Victor spent the next 40 hours imrsed in comprehension. During that period, he continuously studied the interdiate elental spells recorded within his grimoire. Thanks to Unparalleled Comprehension, what would normally require decades of study and practice was reduced to re hours.
Water, Earth, tal, Wind. One after another, the interdiate spells belonging to the four elental paths revealed their secrets before him.
When the process finally ended, he had comprehended fourty interdiate spells. His mastery over the eight elents had been completed. A transparent screen appeared before him.
[Combat Prowess: 1150 Stars]
Victor slowly exhaled. The increase in power was substantial. More importantly, his understanding of elental laws had deepened significantly. Every spell he learned beca another stepping stone toward higher levels of magical mastery.
Now there was only two things left: Space and Ti. Victor looked toward the remaining sections of the grimoire. Compared to ordinary elental magic, these two paths were fundantally different. Even Victor felt a trace of anticipation.
His gaze settled on the Space Elent section. Only three interdiate spells were currently available: Space Sense, Pocket Storage, and Gravity Distortion. Victor carefully studied the descriptions.
Among them, Space Sense imdiately caught his attention. Mana Sense allowed a mage to perceive mana fluctuations and detect living beings or magical energy, but Space Sense operated on an entirely different levels. The spell enabled the caster to perceive distortions within space itself. Objects hidden behind spatial concealnt techniques could be detected, dinsional fluctuations could be sensed, and even invisible spatial passages would beco visible to the caster. In many situations, it was vastly superior to Mana Sense. Victor nodded slightly. "This is useful."
His attention shifted toward the second spell: Pocket Storage. The concept appeared simple, but the more Victor studied it, the more impressive it beca. The spell allowed a caster to create storage spaces using spatial energy. What made it extraordinary was its flexibility. Storage rings were normally expensive treasures that required rare materials and specialized craftsn. Pocket Storage eliminated that requirent entirely. A stone could beco a storage item, a coin could beco a storage item, and even a grain of sand could theoretically contain a storage space if the caster possessed sufficient mastery. The spell functioned at a molecular level. Victor imdiately recognized its value. With enough skill, he would never need a conventional storage artifact again. Right now he could create only 100 cubic ter storage.
Finally, he examined Gravity Distortion. A thoughtful expression appeared on his face. This spell manipulated spatial curvature to alter gravitational force. The caster could increase or decrease gravity by up to ten tis. Although the description seed straightforward, Victor instantly saw countless possibilities. Ten tis gravity could crush enemies into the ground, reducing gravity could cripple movent and throw opponents off balance, and changing gravitational pressure during combat could completely disrupt an enemy’s rhythm. It was an excellent battlefield control spell. "Good," Victor muttered.
His eyes slowly closed, and the room beca silent once more. Previously, comprehending a basic space spell had required approximately three hours. Interdiate spells were significantly more complicated. Victor wanted to know exactly how difficult space magic truly was. His consciousness sank into the endless ocean of knowledge contained within the grimoire.
One day later, a familiar voice echoed within his mind.
[Ding! Unparalleled Comprehension Activated.]
[Ding! Interdiate Space Elent Spell Comprehended.Space Sense Successfully Learned.]
Victor slowly opened his eyes. A faint spatial ripple flashed across his pupils before disappearing. Imdiately, his perception transford. The world around him seed completely different. He could sense the subtle structure of space itself. Every object occupied a specific location within reality, every movent created minute disturbances, and even the empty air around him no longer appeared truly empty.
Victor remained silent for several monts, then glanced at the clock. One full day. A single interdiate space spell had required an entire day of comprehension. Compared to ordinary elental magic, the difference was enormous. "One day, huh?" he muttered. A thoughtful expression appeared on his face. If space required this much effort, then Ti Magic would likely be even more difficult.
Just as he was considering the matter, a communicator resting nearby suddenly activated. Arthur’s voice erged from the device. "Victor, are you free? I have already established the academy and selected more than five hundred elite candidates as you requested."
Victor looked toward the communicator. A small smile appeared on his face. After spending so much ti in isolation, he felt that a brief break would not hurt. He stood from his seat. "I am coming out." The communication ended. Soon afterward, Victor left his cultivation room.
At the center of the Moon Empire stood a newly constructed complex. The structure covered an enormous area and possessed an imposing presence. Large silver letters were engraved above the main entrance: Royal Martial Academy. This was the first martial academy in the history of the new civilization. Its creation represented the beginning of an entirely new cultivation system for humanity.
When Victor appeared outside the academy, the guards imdiately straightened their backs. Their expressions beca respectful. After all, Victor was not rely the founder—he was currently the only person alive who fully understood martial cultivation. "Greetings, Headmaster," the guards bowed respectfully. Victor nodded before entering the academy grounds.
Arthur was already waiting inside. A smile appeared on his face when he saw Victor arrive. "You have co."
Victor nodded. Arthur continued, "The students are all waiting. Would you like to speak with them?" Victor looked at him. "Have you explained martial cultivation to them?" Arthur shook his head. "Not in detail. They only know that it offers a path to power even for those without elental affinities. Since I am not fully familiar with the system, I decided not to explain further."
Victor approved of the decision. "Very well." He glanced around the academy. "Gather the administrative mbers first. We need to establish the entire frawork before the students begin training." Arthur imdiately nodded. "They are already waiting."
The two walked deeper into the academy. Several minutes later, they entered a large eting room. More than twenty individuals were present. Victor imdiately sensed powerful mana fluctuations. Most were accomplished mages, so possessed the aura of warriors, and others carried the subtle presence of trained assassins. The mont Victor entered, everyone stood. "Greetings, Sir Victor." Victor nodded politely. "Hello, everyone."
Once everyone sat down, the eting officially began. Victor looked around the room. "Let us start with the academy structure." Everyone focused their attention on him. "We will divide the martial cultivation system into three tiers."
The room beca completely silent. "The first tier will cover Apprentice through Adept. This tier will be available to everyone." Several administrators exchanged surprised glances. Victor continued calmly. "The second tier will cover Elite through Epic." His gaze swept across the room. "Only individuals who successfully complete the first tier will gain access. Furthermore, they will need to purchase the second tier using their own resources." Many people nodded. Such a requirent made sense—higher cultivation thods possessed enormous value.
Then Victor spoke again. "The third tier will be Sage." A visible change appeared in everyone’s expressions. "Sage level will be reserved exclusively for the greatest geniuses. However, I do not expect humanity to produce such an individual within the next ten years." The statent stunned the room. Most of them had no understanding of martial cultivation. The idea that soone without elental affinity could eventually reach Sage level completely shattered their previous assumptions.
After several monts, one board mber slowly stood. "Sir Victor, may I ask a question?"
Victor nodded. "Go ahead." The man hesitated briefly before speaking. "Can people like us cultivate the martial system as well?" Instantly, every pair of eyes turned toward Victor. This was the question everyone wanted answered.
Victor remained calm. "It is possible." The room imdiately beca excited. However, Victor raised a hand. "But there is a serious risk." Everyone beca silent again. "Mana cultivation and martial cultivation follow different systems. Attempting to advance both simultaneously can create conflicting energies within the body." His voice beca more serious. "If that happens, you may die."
The excitent instantly cooled. Victor continued. "You can either stop advancing through your current magical path and focus on martial cultivation, or remain on your current path." Silence filled the room.
Then, unexpectedly, several people stood. Their eyes burned with determination. One elderly mage stepped forward. "Sir, please consider opening the system to awakened individuals as well." Victor looked at him. The old man continued. "There are thousands of people who beco trapped in the Third Realm for their entire lives. Many of them would gladly accept the risk if it ant another chance to beco stronger." The remaining administrators imdiately nodded.
Victor understood their feelings. For countless individuals, advancent had beco impossible. Martial cultivation represented hope. After several monts of thought, Victor finally replied. "We will observe the results of the first batch before making a final decision." Relief imdiately appeared on their faces. The elderly mage bowed deeply. "Thank you, Sir Victor." Victor simply nodded.
Then his expression beca serious. "Now we can begin preparations." Everyone straightened imdiately. Victor looked around the room. "Collect five hundred Adept Realm monsters."
