CHAPTER 69: CHAPTER 69: SKIPPING CLASS TECHNIQUES

"Aoo—Aoo—"

After half an hour, the cries of the white birds became more frequent.

Still unable to find a second second-tier sea fish, Lor suspiciously glanced at these white birds, suspecting that these birds had scared the sea fish away.

"Let’s deal with a batch first and see." Lor didn’t hesitate, directly setting the mark on the Cliff Gold Spaceship, and activating the small meteor witchcraft model in the Sea of Consciousness.

"Woosh—"

A meteor streaked across the sky, leaving a faint red trail, aimed directly at the Cliff Gold Spaceship.

"Aoo—Aoo—"

The white birds sensed something amiss, cried even louder, and started desperately fleeing from the Cliff Gold Spaceship.

Unfortunately, in less than a second, no matter how fast they were, they couldn’t escape beyond thirty miles.

Just before the meteor was about to hit the spaceship, Lor preemptively detonated it.

"Boom—"

Fierce flames and rubble rapidly spread around the spaceship with a terrifying shockwave, engulfing an area of thirty miles centered on the spaceship.

"Aoo—"

The white birds were covered in flames and rubble, and didn’t even have time to let out a complete cry of pain before they were torn apart and turned into chunks of charcoal.

A moment later, the flames dissipated, and not a single trace of the white birds was left around the Cliff Gold Spaceship.

"At last, some peace." Lor sighed in relief.

Taking a quick glance at the Sea of Consciousness, he noticed that a normal shot of small meteor witchcraft required two parts of elemental energy.

Whereas when adding the Gravity Technique and reducing it to 0.1 Ring small meteor witchcraft, it consumed two and a half parts of elemental energy.

"The consumption is just manageable." Lor mused, "Even with the Gravity Technique exerted fully, it would likely only consume three parts of elemental energy. If I absorb magic crystals for recovery, using it seven or eight times continuously won’t be a problem."

The outside world, unlike the Divine Kingdom, does not restrict carrying magic crystals.

With his eighth-level Meditation Talent, using magic crystals to recover elemental energy greatly enhances endurance.

Of course, doing so means consuming magic crystals.

After meditating for a short while to recover, Lor continued maneuvering the spaceship to search for second and third-tier sea fish.

After another seven hours, dispersing three groups of white birds in between, he finally sensed a blue sea fish about 58 meters long.

"It seems it’s not the white birds, but truly a scarcity of extraordinary sea fish in this area."

Lor sighed, "Hopefully, this sea fish has a school, otherwise it’s all for nothing."

Learning from earlier experience, this time he activated fewer small meteor witchcraft runes in the Sea of Consciousness, only triggering a 1.5 Ring lava eruption beneath the sea fish,

"Gurgle—Pop—"

Under the sea, lava covering an area of just two miles spurted up from beneath the blue sea fish, enveloping it entirely.

The sea fish, which was leisurely roaming, instantly started thrashing its tail frantically, swimming out of the lava’s range within seconds.

Due to the lava not being particularly powerful, this sea fish was not significantly harmed.

It even had the thought to curiously gaze at the constantly erupting lava, trying with its less-than-intelligent brain to figure out why lava was emerging from there.

After pondering for a while and getting nowhere, it once again flicked its tail and leisurely swam at the seabed.

"Hmm, too weak is no good either." Lor shook his head and cast another 1.7 Ring Lava Eruption Skill on the sea fish.

"Gurgle—Hiss—"

The leisurely swimming sea fish started frantically thrashing its tail once more, swimming out of the lava’s range within a few swings.

This time, its scales bore many burn marks, and it was no longer as relaxed as earlier.

It didn’t dare look back at the lava eruption, thinking solely about returning home to heal.

In these seabeds, when uninjured, it was a predator.

But if injured, it might attract stronger predators.

"Woosh—"

The blue sea fish lightly flicked its tail and darted a hundred meters like an arrow through the sea bed.

"Finally done."

Seeing no more mishaps, Lor breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly maneuvered the spaceship to follow the sea fish.

After roughly two hours of tracking, the underwater environment changed abruptly.

The once sparse seabed corals suddenly became abundant, and the further ahead, the more corals there were.

In no time, Lor watched the blue sea fish swim into a dense forest of corals.

Outside these coral forests, other uninjured blue swimming fish were constantly coming in and out, ranging in size from seven or eight meters to two or three hundred meters, densely packed and uncountable.

Those blue sea fish, two or three hundred meters long, were undoubtedly third-tier sea fish.

"Indeed they exist!" A flash of joy passed through Lor’s eyes, "Hopefully, the proportion of third-tier sea fish in this school is suitable."

He took out the Marking Demon Artifact, driving the small meteor rune in the Sea of Consciousness, using the Spatial Positioning Rune to guide the artifact, directly marking the blue sea fish in the coral on the sea floor over a hundred miles away on the surface.

This is actually one of his advantages. Using the Spatial Positioning Rune, he can complete the marking task directly on the sea without having to dive down.

Others weren’t as fortunate; finding them is not the end, they still have to dive below ten miles near the fish school to extract the essence of life.

Speaker Yassen’s original design for this training’s critical point was here: once you go underwater, you’d inevitably alert the fish school.

If the school of fish is alerted and sees you as the intruder, there’s no getting away without a fight.

Underwater, non-Water Mages have a huge disadvantage in fights with school of fish.

Especially with Lor being a First Ring Wizard, facing a third-tier fish school wouldn’t end smoothly without losing some skin.

Unfortunately, Speaker Yassen didn’t know that Lor had the Spatial Positioning Rune to skip this school.

The key is that the Space Rune is actually not feared to be exposed, after all, there are numerous strange runes and witchcrafts, what’s one more?

This is also one of the reasons he was confident in catching up with the marking progress of the Third Ring Wizards rapidly after becoming Second Ring.

"Now even if Speaker Yassen found out, I’m afraid there’s not much to be said, right?"

Lor glanced down at Levan, who opened the panorama mode and was enjoying the sea view, a slight smile forming at the corners of his mouth.

He could understand Speaker Yassen’s good intentions, knowing that he meant well for him.

Training more before the Fourth Ring would indeed aid in the major transformation from the Third Ring to the Fourth Ring.

Those geniuses pioneering the path in the Multi-Element Faction have only a three-in-one-thousand chance of breaking through to the Fourth Ring, and even geniuses with a singular Elemental legacy don’t fare much better.

At most, it adds a three-in-one-thousand chance, reaching six-in-one-thousand.

But with the crisis of Abyss invasion looming ahead, Lor truly didn’t need extra training.

"But this kid Levan really needs some training," Lor thought, as he regarded young Levan below, he had some thoughts spring forth.

When the Abyss invasion comes, Speaker Yassen would be gravely injured, and the trump card left on the child may fail.

Though he would do everything to protect the child, should anything go awry, this little one needs to have some abilities to handle it.

Below the ship’s cabin, sensing the gaze from above, Levan looked up. Through the panoramic wall, his eyes met Lor’s deep eyes.

"Mentor... Do you have something for me?" Levan, seeing his mentor’s deep eyes, couldn’t help but shiver a little, even his Mental Power voice transmission turned a bit stuttered.
