Spring Departs

With a heart full of excitement, Garen walked over.

"Primary Enhancement Stone, just give it to me."

He was screaming wildly in his heart.

Ding: Congratulations on obtaining a "Mysteries Entry Card."

"Holy crap, Mysteries Entry? It wouldn't be the kind I'm thinking of, would it? That would be heaven-sent."

Garen instantly threw the Primary Enhancement Stone to the back of his mind.

He put the card away, and the card's description appeared in his mind.

Mysteries Entry Card: Can be used to freely choose one Law Mystery to enter (provided one has the talent for it).

"Oh my god! It really is the thing I was thinking of. Is this an item that can be dropped by a Saint Realm Magical Beast? This is too broken, isn't it? Isn't this function just like stripping away soul fragments? That's something only a Grand Perfection expert can do, and I got it just by killing a random Saint Realm Magical Beast? This is too fake."

One must know that as long as Garen gained entry, he could fully comprehend the Laws just by grinding monsters. He wouldn't have any bottlenecks, and upgrading to a Highgod in the future would be a breeze.

"Could it be that my luck has actually risen just by following the protagonist? It feels like my cheat has even leveled up."

Just then, Linley walked over from a distance.

Garen hurriedly wiped the shocked expression off his face, pretending to look indifferent.

He dug out the Magic Crystal Core of the Trident Dragon, blew it clean using Wind Element magic, and toyed with it casually.

If he let Linley see his shocked expression, his cool demeanor would be gone in an instant.

"What do you say? My casual strike just now, the power was alright, right?"

As soon as he approached, Linley, who was just about to compliment Garen, was rendered speechless.

"Damn it, do you have any shame? You were chanting the magic incantation for nearly half an hour in advance, and you still have the nerve to call it a casual strike."

Even Linley, who usually had a steady state of mind, couldn't help but curse out loud at this moment.

"Uh, what are you saying? What are you talking about? You're exaggerating."

Garen didn't use the Mysteries Entry Card immediately; there was no need for it yet. He would have plenty of opportunities to enter Law Mysteries in the future. It wouldn't be too late to use the card when he got stuck on a certain Mystery and couldn't comprehend the entry point no matter what.

Even for a genius, sometimes it could take thousands or tens of thousands of years to just get an entry point into a Law Mystery.

After the two reached the core of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, they didn't continue east, but instead headed north.

At this very moment, in a luxurious courtyard within Fenlai City of the former Fenlai Kingdom, a bewitching youth looked toward the direction of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, his brows furrowed.

"Eh? There is actually a human in the Magical Beast Mountain Range who dares to kill a Saint Realm Magical Beast. It seems my, Dilin's, deterrent power is not enough."

Although the bewitching youth's voice was very soft, his words contained endless killing intent.

Dilin, who was preparing to fly toward the Magical Beast Mountain Range, swept his divine sense across the area and suddenly discovered that next to that person, a youth was holding a sharp soft sword in his hand.

"Hmm? Isn't that the precious sword that Beirut mentioned to me before, the one that sealed the Mist Valley? Could it be that he was the one who let me out of the Gabad Plane Prison?"

Dilin then probed carefully with his divine sense again, and his expression changed.

"That black rat? Could that be...? Forget it. As long as those two brats don't go too far, I'll give Beirut some face."

Far away, thousands of miles away, Garen didn't know that in a single thought, he had almost been hunted down by a God Realm expert.

Back on the road, Garen didn't deliberately look for Magical Beasts above the ninth rank. He let things take their natural course, feeling the wind and comprehending the Laws. Sometimes, he would even watch Linley "live-stream" his stone sculpting, which he found quite interesting. With such relaxed cultivation, his comprehension of the Law Mysteries was surprisingly fast.

Right now, the Magical Beast Mountain Range had the fewest Magical Beasts, as a large number of them had not yet returned from the front lines.

One must know that the combined population of the Holy Union and the Dark Alliance was over a billion; if Dilin wanted to occupy half the territory, he would need a massive number of Magical Beasts.

A year passed in the blink of an eye.

In this year, Garen never encountered another Saint Realm Magical Beast, though he did kill over a dozen ninth-rank ones. The Primary Enhancement Stone he had been longing for finally dropped.

He successfully enhanced the Tiger God Armor to the level of a Low-level Divine Artifact. He used the previous Socketing Stone to add another socket to the Tiger God Armor and embedded two Level 1 Moon Stones, greatly increasing his defense. He also dropped a Primary Experience Card and a Level 1 Critical Hit Gem.

This made him even more convinced of the theory of luck. Under normal circumstances, he would only drop one item after killing twenty or so monsters. His luck had indeed become much stronger while staying by Linley's side; he dropped three items after killing only a dozen monsters, and the drop rate had clearly been adjusted upward.

Over the past year, Garen's Wind Element Laws had progressed by leaps and bounds, while his Explosion Laws had basically stayed in place.

Linley's cultivation had also improved significantly over the past year; his warrior rank had reached the late stage of the seventh rank, his magic rank had reached the mid-stage of the eighth rank, and he had comprehended Weightless Strength and was currently attempting to comprehend Momentum.

He had also inadvertently triggered the baleful aura within the Violetblood Soft Sword, killing dozens of Magical Beasts in one go and discovering a new use for the Violetblood Soft Sword.

Garen

Warrior Rank: Level 9 (696,582/1,000,000 experience)

Wind Element

Law Mystery: "Wind Element" (3,390,000/20,000,000 experience)

Fire Element

Law Mystery: "Profundity of Explosion" (1,280,000/50,000,000)

Transformation Rank: Saint Realm

Magic Rank: Level 9 (620,000/1,000,000 experience)

God-Slaying Blade: Low-level Divine Artifact (other stats unchanged)

Tiger God Armor: Low-level Divine Artifact (upgradable), Gem Smelting unlocked (four slots).

Level 2 Black Gem: Increases character speed by 10%.

Level 2 Blessing Stone: Saves 20% of magic, battle qi, and spiritual energy when using magic or battle qi (laws and profundities).

Level 2 Nature Stone: Increases the speed of meditation and refining magic power (comprehending profundities) by 20%.

Level 2 Moon Stone: Strengthens the character's physical and soul defense by 20%.

He had comprehended the most in the Mysteries of Wind Element, gaining 2 million experience points over this past year. One had to realize that killing a single level 9 magical beast only yielded about 1,200 experience points; he would need to kill over 1,600 of them to gain that much. Where could he possibly find that many level 9 magical beasts?

Garen had already sensed it before: after upgrading to the Saint Realm, his primary means of leveling up would likely be through his own comprehension of laws, at least for the time being. He would have to wait until his comprehension of the laws and profundities hit a bottleneck before going out to kill magical beasts for levels; otherwise, the magical beasts on the Yulan Continent wouldn't be enough to satisfy his needs.

For now, he could only strengthen his power as quickly as possible, so that when the time came to enter the Graveyard of the Gods, it would be his moment to truly take flight.

Although his current comprehension of the laws and profundities was not yet deep.

However, the base attributes of a Tiger-Striped Warrior were formidable, and he possessed divine weapons, divine armor, and the added bonuses of his soul mutation.

In terms of speed, he was definitely in the top tier among the Saint Realm; at most, only a few at the peak of the Saint Realm could outpace him.

His offensive capabilities might be slightly lacking, forcing him to rely on his divine artifact to compensate. While the fire-style Profundity of Explosion had strong burst potential, he had only just entered the threshold, and although his comprehension of the Mysteries of Wind Element was deeper, it was not a law or profundity known for powerful attacks.

But in terms of defense, he had the Tiger God Armor against ordinary attacks, and his soul defense was absolutely formidable due to his soul mutation, making it practically unsolvable at the Saint Realm level.

His overall strength was now such that he would be hard-pressed to find a match below the peak of the Saint Realm.

On this day, as the two were walking, they suddenly saw two humans wearing Leather Armor and holding weapons, their expressions panicked.

Garen sensed them for a moment and realized those two were only level 7 warriors, so he didn't pay them any mind. They had encountered adventurers while in the Magical Beast Mountain Range before, but they had never had any interactions with them.

Thus, the two continued on their way.

Thanks to "Clouds Blown by the Wind" for the monthly ticket, and thanks to the brothers who cast recommendation votes.
