Chapter 223: Actually, I Don’t Mind Being a Kept Man

Translator: 549690339 |

In the following days, Lin Xiao almost always stayed within the Divine Realm, practically spending every day there.

He studied spells and various magical theories, letting all the Wise Goblins participate through the Tower of Truth. Feedback from over three thousand Wise Goblins enabled rapid progress in his understanding of magical theory. He was confident that no one in his class could match him, and perhaps not even a few throughout the entire high school stage.

With a solid foundation in magic theory, he could then provide feedback to the Tower of Truth, which gradually started to fill with deeper and more profound magical theory books for the study of the Wise Goblins.

He introduced knowledge into the Tower of Truth for the Wise Goblins to learn, and they would research and send back their findings to Lin Xiao, which provided him with even deeper theoretical knowledge. This cycle of continuous give and take ensured a rapid growth in various theories of magic within the Tower of Truth.

anwhile, as the Divine Realm continued to expand, Lin Xiao felt that the realm was too vast and that there were too few mbers of his Clan, while the Wise Goblins were too engrossed in learning to consider procreation, resulting in a slow propagation rate. The original two thousand Wise Goblins had only increased by a thousand in twenty years, which was exceedingly slow.

He began consciously adjusting this, issuing Divine-mandates to Slarda to encourage the Wise Goblins to reproduce more. Additionally, he introduced limitations in the Tower of Truth to encourage the Wise Goblins to engage in other interesting activities rather than staying cooped up at ho.

It must be said that the forced adjustnt was sowhat effective. Under his restrictions, Wise Goblins could no longer enter the Tower of Truth whenever they wished but only after they had finished a research project, freeing up ti for other things.

So with stronger practical abilities started to research items derived from magical theory, while the rest, with less skill, followed Slarda’s arrangents to engage in beneficial activities for the body and mind, contributing a bit to the prosperity of the Wise Goblins’ race.

It’s worth ntioning that the pure Divine Spirit, which cost him five points of Divinity, had already been reincarnated and successfully beca a Divine Wisdom Gno, displaying extraordinary intelligence and ability from a young age.

Within just ten years in the Divine Realm, it had matured and already stood out as a renowned young genius among the Wise Goblins.

This individual, bestowed the na Alemonte Lin by Lin Xiao himself on the day of his birth, with his surna after the given na, carried the hope of one day becoming the wisest being within the Divine Realm.

And now, it seed that Alemonte had not disappointed his expectations, already being among the most intelligent of the Wise Goblins at such a young age, displaying a very strong talent for spells since childhood.

Finally, after two weeks of the first major class, the first Wise Goblin hero Alemonte successfully cast the first spell without the aid of a Profession Card, officially becoming a Mage.

This was a true Mage, not a phony Mage appointed through a Profession Card.

The Mage appointed through a Profession Card stemd from a very strong Crystal Wall System called Toriel, and it relied on the existence of the Magic Net. Not only were there limitations on using spells, but there was also a restriction on available spell slots due to the Magic Net.

On the other hand, Alemonte’s self-taught Mage position was more like that of the pseudo-D&D ga Mages, casting spells through Blue Bar Mana rather than the Magic Net, so as long as there was sufficient Mana, casting could be done freely without any restrictions, naturally making him much more powerful.

After taking up the Mage occupation, Alemonte’s inherent Divinity was fully activated, making him a Mage Hero with an Epic template.

Lin Xiao reviewed Alemonte’s hero panel and gave an evaluation that his potential was on par with Slarda’s.

Hero: Alemonte (Divine Creature)

Race: Wise Goblins.

Rank: Epic.

Hero Aura: Magic Aura—All spellcasting-friendly allied professions within the Aura’s range consu 25% less Mana and spiritual power while casting, cast spells 25% faster, have a 25% increase in casting distance, and their spell power is increased by 25%.

Hero General Talent: Epic Hero’s Vitality—Immunity to instant death damage, High-End Life Regeneration, physical damage reduction by 25%, All resistance 25%.

Divine Creature Talent: Divine Creature—All attributes 20%, All resistance 20%, gains High-End Life Regeneration.

Hero Unique Talent: Goblin’s Brilliance—Inheriting the last brilliance of Ancient Goblins, he has an extraordinary talent for Magical Creations.

Hero Skills: None.

Constitution: 19 4 points. (…)

Strength: 16 3 points. (…)

Agility: 21 4 points. (…)

Spirit: 60 12 points. (Your spirit is unapproachable by mortals, your intelligence is exceptional, and you are a natural master of spells.)

Evaluation: A legendary Goblin Hero inheriting the remnants of ancient Goblin glory.

From his talents, one can tell that Alemonte isn’t the kind of Mage Hero adept at combat, but his potential for Magical Creations is extraordinarily high, which stirs Lin Xiao’s anticipation.

Now, Alemonte doesn’t yet have Hero Skills, but his spellcasting ability has rapidly improved since becoming a Hero, and it took him only a few years to advance to the level of a Rank 6 Grand Mage, becoming a very powerful Goblin Leader.

Indeed, since Alente beca an official Mage, otherwise Goblins seed to have an epiphany, and successive senior Wise Goblins who had been researching spells for many years successfully cast them, becoming true Mages.

It’s worth ntioning that only the Wise Goblins who had not taken the position of Frost Sorcerer could beco true Mages. Once they beca Frost Sorcerers, they would never be able to beco true Mages.

However, this doesn’t an that there’s no way out for those who beco Frost Sorcerers. They can still continue to study spell theories and self-learn various spell techniques, and super-magic skills, becoming a more powerful senior Frost Sorcerer than the conventional professions.

Lin Xiao was very pleased with the changes in the Wise Goblins and promoted Alente as the Clan Leader of the Wise Goblins. He also selected twenty outstanding Wise Goblin Mages to beco his Priests, tasked with establishing a subsidiary organization of the Church—the Hall of Truth, responsible for managing and protecting the Tower of Truth, as well as the manufacturing of church magic machinery and weapon armor.

At this point, apart from the headquarters, the Church of Truth had only one branch, the Hall of Truth, but the second branch, the Arbitration Court, was in the works.

The duties of the Arbitration Court generally involved monitoring the church internally, capturing and judging the church’s defectors and traitors, akin to the powers held by the Eastern Factory Guards, which were quite significant.

Lin Xiao did not have any Clan at hand that was qualified to take up this position, so it had to be put on hold for the ti being.

Ti passed swiftly with the rapid developnt of the Divine Realm, and every week when Lin Xiao returned from the Divine Realm, the first thing he did was send a ssage to Shen Yuexin.

A month ago, they had agreed to contact each other weekly at the sa ti, and now it was their fourth ti.

The content of their chats was mostly about so interesting things they encountered in the developnt of their respective Divine Realms, or so amusing occurrences during class, including the courses and content of their respective classes. By now, Lin Xiao had a rather thorough understanding of the curriculum of the elite class at Radiance No. 1 Middle School.

Overall, it wasn’t much different from the curriculum at No. 2 Middle School, but there were slight differences in teaching thods. Most importantly, the treatnt of different students by the two teachers and counselor of the elite class of No. 1 Middle School’s second year was starkly different.

In one sentence: Honor students are spoken to gently, while failing students are left to their own devices.

Fortunately, his little aunt was doing well and belonged to the honor students.

Afterward, they chatted for a while, and only reluctantly hung up as it was nearly ti for class.

Although they didn’t chat much, their relationship didn’t beco distant due to the limited conversation. Instead, it had improved. She no longer repelled his occasional verbal flirtation online.

This was a significant progress. When a girl doesn’t reject a boy’s flirty words, it indicates she has a good impression of him, and with a bit more effort, he could likely win her over soon.

Lin Xiao was even considering picking a day to ask her out and make their relationship official.

Lost in thought, he arrived at the classroom door, where he saw his classmates arriving one after another with serious expressions, and Lin Xiao quickly adjusted his mood because today was the second major class of the sester.

As the horoom teacher ntioned during the last major class, the teacher wouldn’t go easy this ti, and everyone was slightly anxious.

Of course, this didn’t include him. With one month in the Main World translating to thirty years of developnt in the Divine Realm, his Divine Realm had seen significant advancent. Compared to the last ti, he was much stronger and had ample confidence to face any senior student.

Entering the classroom, the Crystal Disc stopped at his spot. More students arrived, but there wasn’t much noise in the classroom.

Over the past month, most students had been like this, feeling not like they were attending school but rather like disciples in a sect from novels, with everyone being competitors.

Once all the students had assembled and the class bell rang, the horoom teacher and counselor arrived on ti. Dr. Sun, the theory class teacher, generally wouldn’t attend this kind of practical combat class.

Dressed as always in full-body armor that obscured even her figure, Jin Sisi’s divine pupils continually flickered as they scanned over all the students, and as always, her voice was emotionless:

“The second major class will follow the sa format as one month ago. However, this ti it will simulate a hundred percent projection of past seniors. Students who failed during the last major class should take note, if you fail again in this class, you will be advised to move down to the second class.”

There was no sound in the classroom, but Lin Xiao knew that everybody’s mind must be far from calm.

“Tsk, tsk, eliminating people just two months after school starts, this competitive pressure…”

Fortunately, he had grown a lot during this period.

Not to ntion the newly developed Wise Goblins, with just the Supre Naga and the Fishman, he was confident in facing any opponent, and he might not even need to summon the Fla Lord unless he encountered the most top­notch seniors from the previous years.

After thirty years of developnt, he not only continuously used Breeding Extraordinary Abilities to speed up the reproduction of the Supre Naga but also specifically traded for nine five-star rare-quality Breeding Cards online with three Mythical Quality cards, rging three of them to create three Mythical Quality Breeding Cards.

That’s the limit for Breeding Cards; rging any more wouldn’t result in Ancient Quality Breeding Cards, so rging three was the most efficient.

The duration remained the sa at ten years, but the reproduction speed increased from three hundred percent to five hundred percent. He used up three card slots in the Divine Realm for thirty years, employing three of these cards.

With the boost of five hundred percent reproduction speed over thirty years, plus the Breeding Extraordinary Ability, even the low reproduction capability of the Supre Naga was forcibly elevated. By this ti, the number of Supre Naga in the Divine Realm had increased considerably compared to half a year ago.
