Myriad Treasure Orb, Defeated Brilliantly Enough

"Stop talking."

The Ponytail Witch's eyes were red, and she was supporting Ronan as if she was about to cry at any moment. "I knew I shouldn't have brought you here."

The beautiful witch named Fu Ling had only known him for half a day, but she not only acted as his guide, but also stayed with him in the secret realm until the very last moment.

Ronan touched his cheek and suddenly realized that being handsome does have its advantages, whether in the mortal world or the Wizard World.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Ronan comforts the Ponytail Witch.

After a few bottles of healing potions, he could feel the wounds on his back beginning to heal. Although the wounds were horrific, they were nothing to him, given his astonishing physique.

At that moment, a slight fluctuation of energy particles came from behind.

Ronan turned to look at the water surface where he had emerged and found that the previous entrance to the secret realm had completely disappeared and had been randomly moved to some unknown location.

They were just a hair's breadth away from coming out.

"I'll take you back to the Arcane Circle."

Seeing that Ronan was feeling better, the Ponytail Witch Fu Ling offered to take him back.

Ronan thought about it and didn't refuse.

The two flew back to the Arcane Circle and finally parted ways at the entrance of the Seven Ring City. Before parting, they exchanged private Communication Stone for future contact.

After seeing Fu Ling, Ronan did not return to the Seventh Magic Ring, but went straight to the Blueberry Inn.

Blueberry Inn.

Inside the washroom.

Ronan stood under the metal showerhead with his eyes closed, the warm water cascading down his face and flowing quickly down his body, slowly washing away the fatigue left after the series of battles.

After showering, Ronan dried his hair and slowly walked out of the bathroom.

Right at the entrance to the restroom was a huge full-length mirror, reflecting Ronan's naked body.

"Mirror."

Ronan reached out and touched the cool, smooth surface of the mirror, his eyes flashing. He now had a bit of a phobia of mirrors.

The experience in the Mysterious Garden still haunted him. Ronan examined his back; the wounds there had mostly healed, leaving only a long line of blood running down his spine.

The bloodline contained dense spatial energy particles, like irregularly shaped, sharp-edged shards of mirror left in his flesh, occasionally causing him a slight stinging sensation.

At this moment, the white orb of light representing life within Ronan's body had shrunk to the size of a pigeon egg.

This was definitely the most energy-consuming he had ever used since activating the [[Immaculate Body]]. It almost damaged his very core, and even his skin seemed to have lost some of its luster.

Open the Character Panel, and the Master Level proficiency for [Ascetic Body Forging] is displayed as 182 points.

Ronan remembered glancing at his stats when he left the "Damp Jungle" after battling two level-two wizards; at that time, his proficiency in [Ascetic Body Forging] was Master 162.

Even after withstanding several second-tier spells, [Ascetic Body Forging] only gained 5 points of proficiency. However, just being bumped into by the transparent humanoid in the eerie garden Secret Realm Space increased its proficiency by a full 20 points! That thing's strength is truly terrifying.

"It seems to be a product of alchemy using spatial and mirror-based magic, akin to an elemental puppet."

Ronan stared silently at himself in the mirror.

That eerie garden Secret Realm Space looked like just the back garden of a wizard's private mansion, a place for him to relax and unwind.

The spatial element that attacked him seemed to be nothing more than a gardener responsible for tending the garden. If the "gardener" was so terrifying, Ronan couldn't imagine what kind of powerful wizard the owner of the garden must be.

This gives a glimpse into the glory of the Mirror Garden, Ancient Wizard Force, during its heyday.

"When I'm stronger, if this Secret Realm Space hasn't been explored yet, I'll definitely go back again."

The unexplored garden, and the mysterious, unknown, and dangerous places beyond it, also represent immense wealth and opportunity!

Ronan took a deep breath, casually draped a brand-new spare robe over his shoulders, walked to the sofa in the living room, sat down, and then took out the items he had obtained at the risk of his life during this exploration of the secret realm from his Storage Waist Pouch.

A fist-sized sphere fell into Ronan's hand.

The sphere is silvery-white, with a surface as smooth and bright as a mirror, yet it cannot reflect any images of objects; only some mysterious light can be seen flowing beneath it.

There were three items on the small white table at the time, and in the nick of time, Ronan only had time to grab one of them.

And this small silver ball was the one closest to him.

Ronan held the small ball in his hand and examined it closely. He couldn't see anything with the naked eye, and then infused it with his mental energy.

Soon, fragmented information was fed back into Ronan's mind.

"All things... the precious pearl".

Ronan read the message aloud softly, his eyes flashing slightly.

Is this the name of the ball? He easily found the runic mark at its core inside the ball.

It was a rune pattern shaped like an eye, with the pupil of the "eye" composed of densely packed prisms. It was the most complex and mysterious rune Ronan had ever seen.

He couldn't confirm the rune's level or grade, but he was certain it was at least tier two.

He carefully examined the "eye"-shaped rune, his mind captivated by the countless lines and patterns that made it up, just like a child gazing up at the night sky on a summer day, naturally drawn to the mysterious vastness and profundity of the starry sea.

Suddenly.

Ronan detected a hint of "familiarity" within the rune. His eyes flashed, and he quickly found the source of this "familiarity"—the rune pattern of the second-tier magical artifact mirror that he had previously copied from the Ponytail Witch Fu Ling.

Comparing the two runes, one is complex, and the other is even more complex.

But amidst the complexity, there are some similarities.

"They all contain the inheritance of spatial and mirror-based magic."

Ronan seemed thoughtful, but didn't find anything strange about it, since both items came from the Mirror Garden.

"The second-tier magical artifact, the Mirror, has the ability to seal spells, so what is the ability of this Myriad Treasure Orb?"

Ronan broke free from his exploration and curiosity about the runes themselves, filled with anticipation and trepidation, and tried to use his mental power to guide and activate the mirror bead in his hand.

The "Myriad Treasure Orb" is of a very high grade, and he was unsure whether his current mental strength was sufficient to activate it.

Generally speaking, the higher the grade of a magical artifact, the greater the mental energy required to activate it.

Manipulating magical artifacts across levels is an extremely easy thing to fail at. For example, when Fu Ling, a level one late-stage wizard, activated the second-tier magical artifact Mirror during a duel, she looked like she had exhausted her mental energy.

To Ronan's surprise, he barely used any mental energy for the Myriad Treasure Orb to be fully activated.

Immediately afterwards, the silver mirror bead turned on and emitted a soft and mysterious light.

The air rippled like water, and Ronan realized that everything around him was rapidly moving away from him.

Sunlight, living room, carpet, round table, vase, a tranquil deep blue like the starry sky filled the entire world, countless colorful lights shimmered around Ronan, as if a huge river flowed slowly and calmly around him.

Ronan couldn't help but stand up from the sofa, staring blankly at the scene before him.

At the same time, he heard a young, bright voice, seemingly full of boundless enthusiasm and vitality, joyfully ringing out under the mysterious, vast, and profound deep blue night sky.

"Welcome, newcomer who holds the Pearl of All Things, to the Schubert's Illusionary Space!"

Please feel free to leave your footprints as you explore the world.

In an instant, Ronan's eyes widened in shock.

He lowered his head, staring blankly at the Myriad Treasure Orb in his hand, his mind racing with a whirlwind of thoughts.

Schubert!

This was actually left behind by Schubert?!

Schubert came from the Mirror Garden? The owner of that Mystic Garden was actually the legendary wizard, the creator of the [Silverization] rune, Schubert?! As Ronan was in shock, he suddenly felt a series of huge and persistent energy fluctuations coming from outside. These fluctuations were so abnormal that they seemed to be waves washing over Ronan.

He quickly put away the Myriad Treasure Orb in his hand, and the deep blue starry sky curtain quietly disappeared, returning everything that had been far removed from reality.

Ronan looked out the window, which was now filled with flashing lights.

He strode to the window, opened it, and was stunned by the sight outside, standing there in a daze once again.

All I saw was—

On the Silver White High Tower that symbolizes the Seventh Magic Ring, complex and enormous runes are now lighting up, radiating dazzling light.

The floating islands surrounding the tower also activated their Rune Array, their lights flickering on and off, just as they echoed the sudden brightness of the Silver White High Tower.

Powerful waves of spiritual energy, belonging to first-level and second-level wizards, surged into the sky and were released to their fullest extent.

Mixed with the light of countless Rune Array, it seemed as if an ancient and grand wizarding ritual was underway, or as if welcoming the awakening and arrival of some exalted being.

That's not all! Ronan also saw similar changes occurring on the towers of the other Arcane Circle further away.

Even the metal rings on the seven Silver White High Tower accelerated their rotation, releasing wave after wave of enormous energy fluctuations.

At this moment, the sun's radiance in the sky was completely invisible.

The entire Silver Magic Ring was submerged in countless energy fluctuations and the light of Rune Array.

The Silver Magic Ring vibrated silently! Ronan stared at the scene before him, his eyes filled with emotion and incomprehension.

Suddenly, he felt something making a slight noise in his Storage Waist Pouch and reached out to take it out.

It is a small, silver disc with the Arcane Circle printed on it.

Ronan infused his mental energy into it, reading the new information transmitted within the identity document.

After a breath, Ronan slowly put down the silver disc in his hand.

He gazed at the vast and magnificent scene outside the window, his eyes lost in thought, and murmured to himself, "The Seven Ring Masters have awakened. Three months later, all official members of the Arcane Circle must participate in the selection competition held within their respective rings. This is a mandatory trial."

Micro Secret Realm Space.

Two figures, one standing and one standing, were talking.

"It's an old tradition."

Benigo, a dashing and handsome Bennigo with graying temples and the air of a seasoned and handsome older man, held a pipe in his hand and said calmly, "Every time there is a large-scale Secret Realm Space exploration operation jointly conducted by several wizarding forces, the Arcane Circle will conduct similar trials and selections."

The goal is to select the youngest, most outstanding, and most capable genius wizards who can represent the Arcane Circle in the war, to help the Arcane Circle compete for fame and resources in the secret realm. This time, all Seven Ring Masters have awakened, and the grandeur of the occasion is unprecedented.

Without a doubt, it's for the soon-to-be-opened, unexplored Mirror Garden Relic Core Area.

Bennigo looked at Ronan and said, "This is an opportunity for you. Exploring large Secret Realm Space like 'Virgin Lands' has always been synonymous with opportunity and benefits. As long as you can go in and come out alive, the resources you get will be at least equivalent to ten years of your own accumulation. Of course, the premise is that you can squeeze in and obtain the qualification to participate in this exploration."

Ronan couldn't help but ask, "What are the selection criteria?"

"It depends on the level of danger of the secret realm and the number of people allowed to enter."

Bennigo shook his head and said, "It's different every time. The larger the Secret Realm Space, the higher the requirements. Just try to squeeze to the front; if you're strong enough, you'll eventually get a spot."

Ronan nodded, then saw Bennigo frown. "Three months is indeed a bit short for you. Although the opponents are randomly assigned in the selection process, it's not difficult to tamper with things."

You're bound to face Travis, but I don't know in which round you'll lose.

"What's the meaning?"

Ronan frowned. "Didn't you already want me to challenge him in three months? The timing hasn't changed."

Bennigo glanced at him dismissively. "I was just saying. How else would I motivate you?"

Ronan looked slightly choked.

"You don't really think I'm expecting you to reach level two within three months? Or to achieve the feat of defeating Travis, a level two wizard with Third Ring, by leapfrogging a level?"

Bennigo remained calm and said, "With your current strength, even if you comprehend two Extraordinary Magic Domain, you are still no match for Travis. Since he was able to become Third Ring, he most likely also possesses the power of Extraordinary Magic Domain. Coupled with the overwhelming power of a level above him, you have absolutely no chance of winning."

Bennigo changed the subject, saying in a low voice, "Losing to Travis doesn't mean you have no hope of exploring the Mirror Garden."

"Even the Ring Lord will watch the selection process."

This has always been the best opportunity for Arcane Circle to showcase their talents.

Travis, as Third Ring star in the Arcane Circle in recent years, is certainly receiving a lot of attention.

Even if you give it your all and can't beat him, as long as your defeat is spectacular enough, you'll become famous overnight. Your final ranking won't be low, and you'll still have a chance to be among the first to enter the Mirror Garden. As I said, true geniuses are not bound or influenced by any conspiracies or tricks; the rules of the Arcane Circle are fairly good.

And now that you've obtained the Brain-Eating Flower, your chances are even greater.

Bennigo stared at the whole Brain-Eating Flower that Ronan had sealed in ice, and said in a low voice with a strange look in his eyes, "To be honest, I really didn't expect this."

Even with Travis sending a level two wizard to hunt you down, you still managed to bring the Brain-Eating Flower back safely.

Although"

Bennigo glanced at Ronan, smelled the faint scent of blood emanating from him, and noticed the "weakness" in his body that was different from before. He said with a hint of amazement, "He was a little injured, but he managed to escape unscathed."

To achieve this level in the mid-stages of level one is truly remarkable.

Ronan remained silent in the face of Bennigo's rare affirmation and praise.

He just sat quietly, as if he were thinking about something on his own.

After a moment, he looked at Bennigo with an expression of "understanding," nodded, and said softly, "As long as the defeat is dazzling enough, that's enough, right?"

I remembered Bennigo.
