CHAPTER 34: CHAPTER 34: ENTERING THE DIVINE KINGDOM, SPIRITUAL POWER 99.9

"Alright." Lor closed the laboratory door, turned around, and walked into the apprentice line.

The third-level apprentices standing at the front hurriedly stepped back when they saw Lor approaching, creating an empty spot at the very front of the line.

Lor smiled and nodded at everyone, and without any hesitation, he walked directly to the vacant spot.

There was another person next to him, with a rather robust build; this must be Randolph, whom Kateya had mentioned to him before.

At the front of the line, Fley saw Lor joining and immediately continued leading everyone forward.

Randolph glanced at Lor but said nothing, only twitching his nose twice.

Meanwhile, Lor was busy dealing with the enthusiastic greetings from familiar faces behind him and didn’t notice Randolph’s small movement.

"Sir Lor, long time no see. I didn’t expect that after visiting my place only once, you’d have your own laboratory," Lus said with a smile.

"Yes, long time no see." Lor smiled and nodded.

"Sir Lor..." Tia, unwilling to be left behind, eagerly chimed in to greet him.

"Lor..."

Even though Lor had rarely left his laboratory in the past six months, people still crowded around him whether they were familiar with him or not.

He chatted as he walked, for more than three hours, finally arriving at the staircase leading to the top floor of the Wizard Tower.

"We’ve arrived. Go ahead," Fley reminded from the front.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent and ascended the stairs with a heart full of reverence.

The owner of this Wizard Tower, Wizard Nelson, was someone they had never met—a majestic figure comparable to the gods!

They couldn’t contain their excitement at the thought of soon meeting such a person.

But as they ascended the stairs and looked up, they suddenly realized that all they could see was the back of countless third-level apprentices in various colored Wizard Robes.

Tens of thousands of third-class Wizard Apprentices were standing silently in the spacious square, eerily quiet.

"The Earth and Fire Faction is here too. Seems like everyone is present. Let’s depart."

Suddenly, a figure surrounded by numerous Earth Elements, standing over five meters tall, appeared at the front of the square and glanced around below.

After confirming that no one had brought any scrolls or other items beyond the first ring, he waved his hand.

Before the apprentices could grasp what was happening, they found themselves enveloped in a dense mass of Earth Elements, lifted into the air.

Whoosh—

Lor felt the weightlessness from his feet and couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

"This method of entering the Divine Kingdom is so simple and crude. No wonder the Divine Kingdom Trial Competition was only held a few times before it was stopped."

Breaking through the sub-space barrier of the Divine Kingdom with brute force requires a Fourth Ring Wizard and does great damage to the Divine Kingdom.

If it were done frequently, the Divine Kingdom might collapse in a short time.

Rumble—

After an unknown amount of time, Lor suddenly felt the Earth Element surrounding him hit something, shaking violently.

He was prepared for this and immediately raised his hands against the Elemental Wall to avoid hitting his head.

About two or three seconds later, the shaking stopped, replaced by a rapid feeling of descent.

Bang—creak—

Soon, the sound of something heavy hitting the ground was heard, accompanied by the sound of trees breaking.

As soon as he landed, the Earth Element surrounding Lor dissolved into the ground and disappeared.

Lor rubbed his head, which was dizzy from the jolt, and looked around.

He seemed to have landed in a forest, surrounded by darkness. The only visible things were seven towering trees within ten meters.

"It’s really dark, befitting the Divine Kingdom of the God of Darkness," Lor couldn’t help but click his tongue.

However, he could sense the oppressive aura unique to Divine Power Crystals in all directions, as well as the sound of heavy objects falling in the distance.

"Let’s add some points first; no rush to find Divine Power Crystals and Special Potions."

Lor looked around, then cast the Floating Technique on himself, climbing up a thirty-meter-tall tree and sitting casually on a branch, summoning the game panel.

[Name: Lor Rox

Age: 13

Physique: 2.7+

Spirit: 46.2+

Spiritual Energy: 462+

Witchcraft: Small Lava Eruption Technique (0.7+0.3 Ring)+, Adaptive Rock Barrier (0.9+0.2 Ring) (Limit Break, no First Ring Witchcraft Position, cannot advance), High-Temperature Amplification (0.7 Ring)+, Flame Wall (0.7 Ring)+, Floating Technique (0.5 Ring)+, Sea of Consciousness Microscope (0.9 Ring, Limit Break 0.1 Ring) (Limit Break, no First Ring Witchcraft Position, cannot advance)+, Earth Vein Breathing Technique (0.3 Ring)+

Meditation Talent: Level 5+

Meditation Technique: Fire and Earth Meditation Technique (Third-level Apprentice)

Energy Points: 51,588 points, 58.33%]

Fifty-one thousand energy points; this was almost all of Lor’s wealth.

Currently, he had only a scant 50 contribution points left in his Contribution Card—not even the richest of third-level apprentices could claim such poverty.

Ignoring that long list of skills, Lor first clicked the plus sign behind Meditation Talent.

[Meditation Talent: Level 5 → Level 6]

[Energy Points: 51,588 points, 58.33% → 51,332 points, 58.33%]

"Again!"

[Meditation Talent: Level 6 → Level 7]

[Energy Points: 51,332 points, 58.33% → 33,412 points, 58.33%]

After this addition, the plus sign behind Meditation Talent disappeared.

The gap between Level 5 and Level 6 Meditation Talent wasn’t wide, only costing a few hundred energy points.

But between Level 6 and Level 7, the gap was much greater, costing Lor nearly 20,000 energy points.

The cost of Level 8 and Level 9 talents was astronomical; no players from the previous life had ever truly used energy points to increase their talent to Level 9.

"Level 7 talent is not bad. Now, if I continue to practice the Meditation Technique, I can increase my Spiritual Power by at least 0.1 points a day, which is five times faster than the cheating practice speed from before," Lor thought to himself. "I’ll grab some Talent Enhancement Potions later, and then I’ll see if I can rely on them to reach Level 8 Meditation Talent."

After improving his Meditation Talent, his gaze moved up and finally focused on his Spirit.

[Spirit 46.2 → 99.9]

[Energy Points: 33,412 points, 58.33% → 29,497 points, 58.33%]

In an instant, Lor’s Spiritual Power reached the peak of a third-class apprentice.

Next, he only needed to advance the Meditation Model, determine the primary and secondary of the Fire and Earth Elements, and select an apprentice-level witchcraft as the core witchcraft for advancement to become a First-Ring Wizard.

"Advancing the Meditation Model takes three days, no rush; it’s better to seize more things in the first few days before advancing."

He was determined to use the Small Lava Eruption Technique as his core to advance to the First Ring Wizard; only then could he merge another First Ring witchcraft and possess the first witchcraft with some Space Attribute.

No one could influence his decision within the Divine Kingdom, but outside was another story.

Therefore, within the ten days of the Divine Kingdom Trial Competition, he had to dedicate three days to advance the Meditation Model.

And the middle three days were the most cost-effective choice.

As for officially advancing to a First Ring Wizard, that would take at least half a month and would have to wait until he was outside.

"With Spiritual Power sorted, next is the skills."

Lor’s gaze moved down, finally fixing on the long list of skills.
