Sage's Refinement (Part 4-in-1)

Academia, inside the beachside castle.

Roy had returned from his vacation and continued with his work.

It was already the beginning of the second year, and the academy was once again preparing for the start of the new term.

He was also preparing to give a lecture, announcing the theories he had organized to the public.

The question Furia had once brought up—how to improve oneself through a Formation Array—had once again become the key.

Roy had actually had an idea for this for a long time. It likewise came from his Alchemy Talent: the attribute bonuses granted by the Sage's Proverbs!

What if other people could also refine soul-bound Philosopher's Stones?

Like Magic Cores and dragon crystals.

Or even divine godheads...

"I owe my advancement from Level 2 to Level 3 to this thing...

However, if I want to increase the bonuses granted by the Sage's Proverbs, forging Spirituality Equipment is the best option known to me at present.

That consumed quite a lot of the Demonic Soul Crystals I obtained from Hailade, as well as various resources such as Holy Relics.

The wealth required was no small amount.

Aside from that, was it because my Soul Status was sufficiently high that I hadn't encountered any problems, or could all living beings advance through this path?"

Roy himself could not answer that question very well. He could only place his hopes in Ingenium and Furia's advancements.

With that thought, he summoned Furia and asked, "How are those three apprentices doing?"

Furia said, "While we were on vacation, they seemed to be preparing to take their final exams. They should be nearly finished by now."

"Final exams?" Roy recalled.

"Yes. They went to the Trial Continent for a month-long survival combat exercise!"

Furia paid far more attention than Roy did
