Every First Ring Peak Wizard can apply for a chance to breakthrough at the Academy’s Star Realm Station.
Generally speaking,
the Academy doesn’t provide resources for a single wizard but waits until several wizards apply together before taking action.
This ti, a total of three wizards applied to enter the Star Realm Station.
Besides Lynn, there were Charlotte and Beastman Nicole.
Nicole wasn’t a surprise, as he had already advanced to the First Ring Late Stage several years ago and likely accumulated enough by now.
As for Charlotte and Lynn, they were both quite young, and no one had ever expected them to apply.
Charlotte was the disciple of Akasha, the Academy’s dean, which was barely acceptable.
Lynn...
Why him?
Not only were the other wizards in the Academy surprised, but even those close to him were astonished upon hearing the news.
It was easy to recall,
almost two years ago.
Back then, Lynn was just a Basic Wizard Apprentice who hadn’t passed the Academy’s assessnt and was expelled.
How much ti had passed?
He was now already at the First Ring Peak, about to challenge the Second Ring Wizard level.
"Co on!"
The White Crow glanced at the three, pausing on Lynn, then spoke slowly:
"Regardless of your opportunities or sponsorships, rember your identity."
"You are all disciples of Viper Academy!"
"Yes."
The three responded.
Lynn remained expressionless, knowing well that the Academy must have learned of his ties with the Loo Family.
Likely, they didn’t want to offend the Loo Family, so Lynn was granted a place for this trip to the Star Realm Station.
Hmm...
If they knew the Loo Family’s true aim was the Station in the Star Realm, one wonders what their reaction would be?
’However, although Julia is strong, she probably can’t wrest the base from Viper Academy,’
’Perhaps there’s another objective.’
In deep thought, the group arrived at a spot resembling an altar, with various runes etched into the ground.
"The Academy’s Star Realm Station concerns the continuation of the Academy. Whatever you see inside, do not divulge,"
the White Crow began:
"You’ve signed agreents, and you should be clear on the consequences of breaking them."
"Enter now!"
The three proceeded inside, and with a flash of white light, the scene before them transford completely.
An acquaintance was already waiting there.
"Charlotte."
"Jack the Gear."
The one in charge of welcoming them was Second Ring Wizard Jack the Gear, with the distinctive gear-ford head.
Lynn took a look around.
This was a palace, nearly a hundred ters tall, supported by eighteen columns that required several people to encircle.
Murals, reliefs, eternally burning torches...
Magnificent!
But what surprised him most was the ubiquitous, all-distorting Power of Laws.
Second Ring Wizards can start touching upon these Laws, but mastering them thoroughly, even permanently, requires Fourth Ring.
At least Fourth Ring!
’These Laws...’
’are related to ti and space!’
Carl himself was Fourth Tier, but possessed laws that could be Sixth Tier or even Seventh Tier.
Plundering!
As long as it was Divine power, it could be plundered.
And the environnt they were in now should be influenced by space-ti laws.
If Viper Academy could utilize or even control the Power of Laws here, even Fourth Ring Wizards would face difficulties.
"Senior,"
Charlotte began:
"Is this the core of the Station?"
He had been to the Academy’s Star Realm Station before, but not here, only the outskirts.
"More or less,"
Jack the Gear nodded, striding towards the exit of the hall:
"Follow ."
The three followed him and walked out of the hall, stopping instantly as they exited.
A dazzling light surged into their eyes, heat, and infinite energy swept over them.
Ti and space,
distorted at this mont!
"It’s not an illusion," Jack the Gear clearly understood their feelings, the gears at his pupils spinning swiftly:
"Both ti and space up ahead have changed, which is why the dean established the Academy here."
"Spatial distortion?" Beastman Nicole’s eyes flickered:
"Even controlling ti and space for a short while requires Fourth Ring Magic, but if it’s able to persist..."
"Fifth Ring Magic?"
"No!" Jack the Gear shook his head:
"The core of the Station is a Sixth Tier Artifact, and its origin is a collapsed, dead world."
Sixth Tier Artifact?
Collapsed world!
The three were no less astonished.
"The Wizard’s Book records that anything observable can be utilized,"
Jack the Gear continued:
"Ti and space are no different."
"If gravity is enough, ti and space will distort; the reason so stars have a day equal to a year outside. The Artifact before us, modified by a Great Witch’s magic, can magnify or minimize this function."
"Senior," Charlotte raised a hand to inquire:
"Do you an the ti in the Station can be altered?"
"Exactly!" Jack the Gear nodded:
"The closer to the Artifact, the greater the ti alteration, where you are going can adjust the ti flow to a hundred tis."
"The reason this boosts breakthrough chances is due to compressed ti; it might feel like days, but years could have passed. Do avoid lingering too long."
Charlotte had an enlightened expression.
Compressing years of cultivation into days would indeed expedite advancent.
No wonder so many wizards failed and died here; likely due to life exhaustion.
"Senior," Lynn squinted:
"If ti can compress, what about energy?"
"Without sufficient energy supply, only experience increases, not cultivation, right?"
"Oh?" Jack the Gear looked surprised:
"You’re able to pose such a question?"
"Good question!"
He nodded and pointed to the source of glaring light upfront, explaining:
"As I just ntioned, that thing is what a world transforms into upon death, providing energy."
"Anything below Fifth Tier isn’t a problem for it."
"Oh yes..."
"It is called Titan’s Heart!"
"Titan’s Heart." Beastman Nicole’s eyes twinkled:
"Senior, is there a line leading to it?"
"Yes!"
Jack the Gear nodded:
"Since the Academy discovered the Titan Core’s location, they always wanted to control it, but even now, they haven’t even approached its true form, let alone mastered it."
"This is a Sixth Tier Artifact, and due to its unique nature, its power defies imagination."
"Forget it!"
He shook his head gently:
"It’s too early to discuss this with you, follow ."
Exiting the hall, the four boarded a pristine Flying Boat, heading towards the direction of the Titan Core.
"Do not move recklessly."
Jack’s voice was stern:
"We are now amidst the chaos of ti and space, leaving the Flying Boat will alter the ti flow."
"Once, a Second Ring Wizard accidentally fell out; returning, he was already entirely white-haired, later analysis revealed he lost at least two hundred years of lifespan."
Hearing this,
Their faces naturally tensed.
