Lord Wizard: Starting your studies with infinite magic crystals!

Upon hearing this...

Athena didn't rush to answer. Instead, she fed the last bit of food into her mouth and then slowly wiped her mouth with a napkin.

After swallowing the food, he began to explain.

"My breakthrough is beyond what can be described by probability, because I am similar to the knight who made a contract with a young dragon in his youth."

Upon hearing this, Wayne became interested.

"I know about knights, but what about wizards who don't have a contract with a young dragon?"

Athena nodded.

"To advance to the seventh level, a True Spirit Wizard needs to meet two conditions: first, comprehend the laws; second, leave their spiritual power, or soul imprint, in the primordial space of the Holy Domain."

"As for the first point, I have already satisfied it. Thanks to the two Heavenly Ice Hearts I found many years ago, which greatly increased my affinity for ice elements. This also allowed me to comprehend the laws of ice elements when I was at level five."

"But my background, or rather my talent, determined my limited perspective, which caused me to fail in my first attempt to advance to the seventh level of True Spirit Wizard."

"It failed?"

Athena nodded.

"That's right, it failed."

"Usually, when you comprehend the laws of ice elements and advance to the seventh level of True Spirit Wizard, the Holy Domain will guide you to the Origin Space, allowing you to imprint your soul mark."

"Unfortunately, I didn't know what that place was at the time, so my first thought was to go back, and it was because of this thought that I left the Origin Space directly."

"Later, when I reached the end of the sixth level of cultivation and went to check how to advance to the seventh level of True Spirit Wizard, I suddenly realized that I had missed it."

Wayne stroked his chin.

"Can't we continue by comprehending the laws?"

Athena shook her head.

"Of course not. That place isn't an open space. It's where countless level seven experts have left their soul imprints. Of course, you can't just go in anytime."

"So that's why you're looking for Snow Ginseng?"

Athena nodded.

"That's right. I want to use the wisp of the origin of heaven and earth contained within it, and then, through the ice element law I have comprehended, re-enter the origin space."

The words fell.

Wayne wanted to say something, but then he realized it wasn't right.

"So you were just messing with me back then?"

Athena chuckled upon hearing this, then shook her head.

"Of course not."

"You're absolutely right, a breakthrough requires a calm mindset."

He then deliberately changed the subject and started talking about his plans.

"It takes me about three days to adjust my condition before I can break through. I don't know exactly how long it will take, but it won't take more than half a month."

"How is it?"

"Do you have time to wait for me?"

"Put the 'ma' off. You're my first woman, how could I not have time to wait for you?"

Wayne said that.

"The first woman?"

Wayne nodded.

"real?"

Wayne nodded again.

Athena suddenly burst out laughing upon seeing this.

"Haha, you're so domineering and shameless, I never expected you to still be a virgin."

Wayne panicked upon hearing this; he couldn't let all his efforts go to waste.

"Aren't you?"

Seeing this, Athena raised her hand to signal Wayne not to rush.

"Of course."

"You were my first man too, but I only teased you because I remember how domineering and shameless you were back then."

Wayne breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and then explained.

I'm only eighteen years old this year.

"Of course you are my first woman."

"Eighteen years old?"

"Does your lord stipulate that one must be eighteen years old to marry?"

Upon hearing this, Wayne paused for a moment, then shook his head.

"No, it's just that I feel I'm an adult at eighteen, so I set a rule for myself."

Athena nodded.

"I see."

"Looks like I'm lucky; I've found a man who has never experienced love before."

.........

Ten days later.

By the waterway of the riverside villa, Wayne was lying on a deck chair fishing with a fishing rod, while Aurora was cultivating in the courtyard.

As for Athena?

Five days ago, I entered a period of closed-door training to advance my level.

As for why it's five days?

Naturally, it was because their relationship had gradually warmed up during their time together that they stayed for two more days.

During these five days, Wayne witnessed what contrast truly meant: holding hands, hugging, kissing—Athena always seemed both awkward and passionate at the same time.

In five days, Wayne and Athena, the guide who had been stationed in Cloud City for three years, visited most of the places.

But Wayne still didn't eat Athena. As for the reason?

To put it more politely...

Wayne didn't want to affect Athena's mood during her breakthrough.

Indecent words.

That is, Wayne wanted to experience the thrill of reversing downward and upward corrections.

Therefore, she made a pact with Athena, who even thought Wayne disliked her for being too old, that if she successfully advanced, she would begin the great human creation movement.

about this point.

Wayne now finds it both funny and sad; the contrast between the icy beauty and her passionate side is truly unparalleled.

This is why Wayne mentioned the concept of contrast earlier.

.........

It was afternoon.

Aurora carried the food out of the yard and came to Wayne, who was sitting in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"Young Master, dinner is ready."

"And what about mine?"

Aurora calmly placed the food on the table in front of Wayne.

That's why he said it in a bad mood.

"You glutton! I've been fishing all afternoon, and you still haven't had enough?"

These words were spoken.

Wayne nearly spat out the food in his mouth, and was about to speak up to stop him when...

Lei Shi's aggrieved voice also rang out.

"How dare you say that?"

"Your young master doesn't know how to fish at all. He hasn't caught a single fish all afternoon. I'm about to starve to death."

"What kind of talk is that? I clearly hung one up."

Lei Shi curled his lip upon hearing this.

"You have the nerve to say that? A fish the length of a thumb isn't even enough to fill my teeth. I really believed your nonsense and ran this errand for you for nothing."

The words fell.

Wayne, his face flushed, retorted, "Does a fish not look like a fish just because it's a thumb long?"

"Are you discriminating against me?"

"Or is it because I haven't caught enough fish?"

"It's clearly because you can eat too much!"

Faced with Wayne's accusations, Lei Shi couldn't help but glare at Wayne with a white lion's eye before rushing to Aurora's feet.

Listen to this!

"Your young master is inhuman! He actually treats me like a human being? Is that even human language?"

Aurora smiled slightly.

"I shouldn't treat you like a human being."

"Hey, you can't act like that!"

"I know you side with your young master, but you can't be this unreasonable, can you?"

Wayne wanted to say something more.

Suddenly, the celestial phenomena above the City of Clouds changed abruptly, and then ice elemental magic manifested everywhere.

The icy blue light illuminated the entire sky, gradually spreading outwards. Then, ice flowers, ice lotuses, and ice dragons appeared one after another.

At this moment, beams of light continuously rose into the sky from the City of Clouds.

Aurora looked at the powerful figures rising into the sky and couldn't help but ask.

"Young master, what is this?"

Wayne gazed at the sky filled with ice elemental magic and the extraordinary phenomenon that the Sanctuary was celebrating.

Suddenly, he turned his head to look at the villa and saw a huge tornado of ice elemental magic energy flowing backwards above it.

"Athena has broken through."
