There were more and more, the exact number of the small monsters they encountered at the beginning, which stunned Celia.

"Without Mr. Ross, am I destined to never be able to climb the stairs?"

Even if she entered at her peak, facing ten boss-level monsters at once, Celia felt she would definitely be instantly killed.

Thankfully, we have Rose.

As Cyria watched Ross weave through a horde of boss monsters, explaining the battles to her as he fought, she longed to turn on the recording function on her bracelet and capture the moment for later viewing.

Unfortunately, the footage captured, once returned to the real world, becomes a strange video with only shifting colors.

All the scenes recorded by the re-enactment spell in the warp yesterday cannot be brought back to the real world.

"What a pity, I can't record it."

It's such a pity about the girl.

Ross was unaware of her thoughts; he was currently enjoying the killing.

This kind of combat, where he could navigate through countless monsters unscathed, gave him a real thrill.

Even after Celia reached the second step, he was still not satisfied.

Next time, Ross is prepared to do it again.

"The first two times were purely about fighting monsters, so we can't miss them."

Thinking this, Ross looked at Celia.

As she stepped onto the second step, a faint golden light emanated from her body.

The phantom of the Star Spirit Tree at the top of the Ascension Staircase bestowed its blessing upon her, converting all the power she had just accumulated into her own, directly doubling her magic power concentration, greatly increasing her mental strength, and also increasing other aspects such as physical ability and thinking speed, although these could not be determined in the God Realm.

The white light emanating from Celia grew brighter and brighter until it enveloped the surrounding environment.

When the white light disappeared, she had already returned to her dormitory.

Celia opened her eyes, looked around, and didn't see Ross. She focused her attention on her mental space, and when she saw Ross there, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Then she exclaimed happily, "My God, I feel so strong right now!"

"Oh? Really? I'll control the puppet and we'll have a fight."

Celia's expression changed instantly, and she hurriedly refused: "No... I'm not actually that good. I'm just more durable than an ordinary second-tier mage. I haven't learned second-tier magic yet."

Celia didn't know how much her combat power had increased, but she knew that her magic power had increased significantly.

If we consider a normal second-tier magic power value as 100 points, then she currently has at least 300 points.

With three times the battery life, you can do a lot more.

Carefully sensing the magic flowing through her body, Celia grabbed her flying broom and excitedly went out the door.

"Before learning magic, I'll learn the Puppet Storage spell first!"

Two more chapters tonight...

Chapter 95 The Most Idiot God

Everyone has different elemental affinities. Some are affinities to a single element, while others are affinities to multiple attributes. Generally speaking, affinities to a single attribute are the best, while affinities to multiple attributes can lead to complex tactical systems.

However, sorcerers are not limited to learning spells with affinity attributes, and their power is only slightly weaker than spells with multi-element affinity, while there is no upper limit to a single specialization.

Everyone has different focuses. School spell classes generally don't teach spells directly; instead, they mainly focus on spell explanations and one-on-one instruction.

If you want to learn magic, you need to set your own learning goals, and then go to the library or find a tutor to learn from.

Celia is on her way to the library.

The first-year curriculum does not include explanations of second-tier spells. If you ask your instructor for a second-tier spell during a spell class, not only will the instructor be unable to provide it, but you will also attract the attention of countless people. Within two classes, everyone in the first year will know that you have advanced to the next tier.

"Although I don't mind others knowing that I've advanced, it's still best to keep a low profile."

Celia's lips curled up, more difficult to suppress than the exhaust nozzle of a jet aircraft.

"You practically have the words 'second tier' etched on your forehead," Ross chuckled.

"Hehe, there's a difference between actively exposing yourself and being discovered by others."

As she spoke, Celia arrived at the library and politely asked the librarian at the entrance, "Excuse me, senior, where is the Puppet Storage spell?"

The administrator looked up and saw a pretty girl with a constant smile on her lips. He paused for a moment, then looked at her a few more times before saying, "The Puppet Storage Spell is on the second floor, turn right. It's the third book in the first row of the Common Spells category. I'm also a second-year student, not your senior."

"Thank you, senior. I'm a first-year student."

With that, Celia skipped and hopped up to the second floor, leaving her senior looking on with a question mark on her face.

The administrator's memory is terrifying; Celia found the Puppet Storage Technique very accurately—or perhaps she remembered it because everyone asked her so often.

"The Puppet Storage Spell is a second-tier spatial spell, but unlike other spatial spells, it can only store puppets... Speaking of which, does Mr. Ross know the Puppet Storage Spell?"

“No.” Ross said decisively: “In my time, puppets were not important. This spell obviously conflicts with the pet space, so no one is willing to study it.”

As Celia opened the book, Ross followed suit.

After all, it's magic from the new era, so we should at least study it and see how it works.

While Celia had only turned two pages and was reciting the magic circuits and techniques, Ross had already gone through the puppet storage spell once.

"It can only store one magic puppet. Back then, we were embarrassed to go out if we didn't have three magic pets with us."

"A sorcerer cannot control two puppets at the same time. A natural puppet heart can only be linked to one. There was once a sorcerer who wanted to obtain two puppets with natural puppet hearts, and the two puppet hearts caused him to suffer a mental breakdown."

"It's too lenient for him to just have a split personality. If the connection were any deeper, he would have been torn into two separate people."

Celia looked up: "There are such consequences? I've never heard of that before. How did Lord Ross know?"

"The Puppet Heart has existed since ancient times, but it wasn't used in my era," Ross said. "Back then, the Puppet Heart was used directly on sorcerers. There was some fool who wanted to have two... Puppet Hearts within him at the same time. Guess what happened to him?"

"He died from being dismembered?"

"He didn't die. He was very strong. The two puppet hearts tore him in two. Coincidentally, both puppet hearts had extremely strong healing effects, which managed to heal both halves of his body."

"Huh?" Celia was stunned. "But, there's only one heart, right? How can it be repaired..."

“Just create one. After that idiot split into two, he went completely insane. Both of them wanted to take back the other half of the body. They fought from the south end of the continent to the north end, creating a great canyon that tore the continent apart. In the end, the others couldn’t stand it anymore and suppressed both of them. One was buried in the south end and the other in the north end.”

Celia's eyes widened. "Isn't this the Great Rift Valley? The history books say that it was created by two Saint-level sorcerers who were comparable to gods. Later, the gods couldn't stand it anymore and personally intervened to suppress them."

"So there are records from this era. However, there are quite a few errors. First of all, it was a person. Secondly, the person being suppressed was not a god, but other Saint-level sorcerers. Of course, those Saint-level sorcerers are close to becoming gods."

Something occurred to Celia, and she asked curiously, "Was Mr. Ross involved?"

"I led the crackdown."

"Isn't it because the gods couldn't stand it anymore?"

Ross: "..."

Okay, that's true.

It was a randomly triggered event. Some idiotic Saint-level NPC, who was preparing to become a god, went so far as to fuse two godhoods, resulting in him splitting into two people, both of whom possessed the combat power of quasi-gods. They directly blasted the continent out of the Great Rift Valley. So, after suppressing them, Ross buried one of the two halves in the South Pole and the other in the North Pole.

By then, we were already in the late game and preparing to conquer the twelve Olympian gods. Ross ignored the Great Rift Valley and let his men repair the damaged roads and buildings so he could continue to focus on leveling up.

After learning a historical truth, Celia returned to studying the art of puppet storage.

But her study was soon interrupted by Ross.

"What era are we living in that we still use such outdated learning methods? Don't you have memory crystals that store spells? Are those things only for puppets and not for sorcerers?"

Celia nodded. "Yes, memory crystals can only be used on puppets. There used to be memory crystals for mages, but the side effects were too great."

"It's like directly implanting a memory from beginner to advanced levels into the brain. First-tier spells are fine, but second-tier and above contain too many memories, causing many spellcasters to experience side effects, believing they are inside a memory crystal and unable to distinguish between reality and dreams."

"Later, someone discovered that instead of giving it to sorcerers, it would be better to give it to puppets. This would not only save time and money spent on researching how to reduce side effects, but also significantly reduce costs. Furthermore, it could store spells up to the sixth tier."

"Moreover, spells that can be used by puppets can also be used by sorcerers. Over time, there will be no memory crystals available for sorcerers to use."

Celia turned to the next page and continued in a low voice, "Aside from essential spells, such as the Puppet Storage spell, many sorcerers no longer learn spells."

Ross said, "I've seen the puppet's memory crystal. It doesn't contain a person's memories, but rather directly inputs knowledge such as the magic circuits, magic output, and elemental sensing into the puppet's magic core. This memory crystal can also transmit knowledge directly into the sorcerer's mind."

Celia thought for a moment and said, "It seems that was the case at the beginning, but simply transmitting knowledge cannot allow a mage to directly master the basics, and they will forget it over time... Anyway, it's all outdated technology."

"Do you remember how I taught you meditation?"

“I remember, you… huh?” Celia’s eyes lit up. “It’s like you teleported directly into my mind, and even included annotations, which made it easy for me to get started quickly.”

"Yes, so stop looking, I'll teach you."

Celia immediately closed the book and put it back: "Long live the gods! I didn't want to read it anymore!"

Chapter 96 Comparison

"receive!"

A light appeared in Celia's hand, and the puppet in front of her slowly shrank, was drawn into her palm, and disappeared.

"Success!"

The girl was so happy she almost jumped for joy.

It was now the second day, Saturday.

Even with Ross's explanation, Celia's compatibility with spatial magic was too low, and it still took her a whole day to successfully store the puppet in the storage space.

"Don't be too happy yet. Besides taking things in, you also need to let go. Only when you can take things in and let go freely can you be considered to have learned how to do it."

Ross shook his head, extinguishing all his thoughts.

Second-tier mages are already qualified to learn spatial spells. Ross originally planned to teach Celia some spatial spells for survival and travel, but after seeing that she was struggling with even a simple spell like puppet storage, he decided against it.

Instead of learning escape spells, it's better to learn more attack spells. If you kill the enemy, you won't need to run away.

"Learning it in a day shouldn't be considered slow, right?" Celia said, feeling aggrieved. "Many sorcerers take a month to learn a single spell..."

“The problem is you haven’t learned it either.” Ross rolled his eyes.

Celia fell silent.

Hearing Ross say that, she became extremely serious and tried to learn how to release the puppet immediately.

Unfortunately, it's not possible.

Nearly another day passed before she finally mastered the trick to releasing the puppet.

Ross bluntly stated, "At your pace, if I didn't force you to learn, you wouldn't have learned it even in a month if you tried to learn by reading books at the same time."

Celia blushed and lowered her head, all the joy she had felt from successfully releasing the puppet vanishing.

"Practice this today, and then learn Ice Shatter and Crystal Arrow from me."

"Oh……"

Celia's voice softened.

After getting started, there's usually a quick learning phase where you can master the basics quickly, but it's much harder to become truly proficient.

Ross didn't expect her to improve; he just wanted her to be able to release the puppet within 10 seconds.

This process was quite quick.

A few hours later, she successfully mastered the magic of storing the puppet.

"No need to continue. Let's learn ice magic first, and you'll see how bad your talent is in spatial magic."

"Is it really that bad?" Celia muttered to herself, clearing her mind and beginning to absorb the knowledge of the Ice Shattering spell.

A moment later, Celia opened her eyes and used her magic to condense a small ice block in front of her.

These are ice spikes. After entering the second stage, she can control the shape and size of the ice spikes more freely, making them perfect for practicing ice-shattering techniques.

Using the magic circuitry of the Ice Shatter spell, Celia attempted to shatter the ice block in front of her.

Click!

A slight cracking sound was heard, and fine cracks appeared on the small ice cube. A moment later, it broke into two pieces, releasing a very weak energy shock.

"Uh... does this count as a success?" Celia asked Ross.

"It was successful, but not entirely successful."
