Dropping by

"They're out?"

After fighting the Third Order Professional for thirty seconds, ' Lai ' found that the scenery around her had changed, and she fell back into the gray space.

She scratched her head, then Panel at her Panel. The Blood Law Sword Art Technique Arts had finally reached the Extraordinary Level.

"Perfectly timed, I'm now at the Extraordinary Level with 12 points of proficiency."

She raised an eyebrow, feeling that this result should be sufficient; even if she didn't pass the Trial, the trip would still have been worthwhile.

She turned her gaze to what was in front of her, but found no Trial Key, much to her dismay.

"That's not right. According to the rules of the Spirit Realm, those Profession who are already very powerful in their Order will be given the opportunity to the Spirit Realm."

This is also why many Spirit Realm Profession are not considered strong compared to their counterparts on the mainland; if they were truly that strong, the Spirit Realm would have already given them the opportunity to advance.

Given her terrifying performance, which allowed her to fight against Third Order Professional, ' Lai ' even wondered if the Spirit Realm would directly give her a third-tier Trial Key.

"Why is it garbled again? Don't I have the Order of Spirit Realm Mage now?"

' Lai ' stared at the constantly flashing words before her eyes. These were the same words she had seen during her first Promotion Trial. Back then, she didn't have Spirit Realm Order, but this time she did. Why was it like this again?

"Perhaps it's because I possess the Order of another Profession that's causing some confusion in the Spirit Realm," ' Lai ' offered a tentative explanation, then waited patiently.

But when the first line of text appeared, ' Lai ' almost fell over, thinking, no wonder this feeling was similar to his first Promotion Trial.

"The city has been destroyed, and your Trial has failed. However, the immense power you displayed during the Trial has been recognized by the Spirit Realm, Spirit Realm allows you to advance to the next Order."

' Lai ' blinked, then mentally summoned the Panel, where she could see very clearly...

[Profession: Spirit Realm Mage (Two Stars)...]

"What's this? Did the Spirit Realm give me special treatment to advance to the second tier?" ' Lai ' thought to himself.

However, this second-tier mental Profession seems to be of no use to her now, as it hasn't increased her Mental Power by even the slightest bit.

Moreover, although she didn't say it aloud, ' Lai ' had already become wary of the Spirit Realm. She suddenly realized that the Spirit Realm also had its own stance.

If the Spirit Realm is truly absolutely neutral, then following the rules and participating in the Promotion Trial Promotion Trial before being allowed to advance is a perfectly normal path. No one can take any other path to advance in the Spirit Realm.

But this just had to happen, and it just had to happen to ' Lai '.

But why did ' Lai ' say that the Spirit Realm has a stance? Because the Spirit Realm could have easily refused to promote her Order, but it did anyway.

The Spirit Realm must also know the specifics about ' Lai,' including that she is the messenger of the sun, the mage of the Alliance, and the Proxy of the Lord of Radiance.

The Spirit Realm wouldn't allow people to advance in Order for nothing. It doesn't actually need so many Profession, especially not so many second-tier Profession, as it's meaningless to the Spirit Realm.

Therefore, ' Lai ' believed that the Spirit Realm was protecting her so much because of her certain identity, and that's why they made an unprecedented exception for her.

This is not because she is a mage of the Alliance, because the Alliance's Law School has been in the Spirit Realm for many years, and there has been no news of the Spirit Realm Spirit Realm mages any special privileges or preferential treatment.

It's impossible for the Lord of Radiance to Proxy, since the Lord of Radiance himself didn't receive much protection from the Spirit Realm; everything was done by the Lord of Radiance using his Divine Power.

When the Lord of Radiance robbed them, the Spirit Realm didn't offer up the Spirit Crystal on its own initiative. Moreover, if they were truly protecting her, the Lord of Radiance could have emptied this realm even if she hadn't come to this Trial.

The only remaining possibility is the messenger of the sun, who wants to return the Sun Block to the Sun Domain.

The Gods would surely object, but what about the Spirit Realm?

The Spirit Realm should be on the same level as the Gods, or even higher.

The Gods oppose this, but the Spirit Realm allows the existence of the Sun Domain. In fact, according to Zali, if all the Block are collected, it seems that the sun will reconnect with its messengers.

If communication is impossible without bypassing the Spirit Realm, and even communication is limited, perhaps only lasting a short while, does the sun possess the abundant Divine Power of the Gods?

If that's not the case, then how can the sun make contact? Isn't it because the Spirit Realm tacitly approves or even facilitates it?

The Spirit Realm wants to see her collect the Sun Block, something ' Lai ' deduced, and she believes there's a 95% chance of that happening.

Immediately afterward, the characters in the Gray Space continued to jump around. ' Lai ' blinked slightly and then saw a new reward from the Spirit Realm.

"You performed exceptionally well in this Trial, Spirit Realm has bestowed upon you a powerful spell, allowing you to wield it as easily as an extension of your body."

This Spirit Realm doesn't even bother with acting anymore; they can even change characters... ' Lai ' raised an eyebrow as he looked at the scene before him.

She felt a new spell suddenly appear in her mind, and she seemed to have seen a Spirit Realm Mage use this spell before.

[Arts: Mental Contest (Proficiency: 0/100000) (Extraordinary): Engages in a Mental Power contest with your opponent. Victory weakens the opponent's Mental Power, momentarily stuns them, and temporarily boosts your own Mental Power and casting speed. You have mastered this spell, making casting instantaneous. After casting, there is a five-minute cooldown period.]

Upon sensing the familiar spell model, ' Lai ' suddenly remembered that the Spirit Realm Mage had used this spell when he was attacked in White Dragon Port.

"That's right, when I got it it was already the extraordinary version, much more powerful than the version from the Spirit Realm Mage."

"It doesn't even mention what happens if you lose?"

' Lai ' raised an eyebrow; she was truly very satisfied with this spell.

After all, she can be said to have the highest Mental Power among third-tier mental-focused Profession. Therefore, when she uses this spell, even at the third tier, it is a skill that combines amplification and control.

Moreover, she didn't need to practice this spell; she could cast it instantly, which further enhanced her already formidable combat abilities.

Even so, the pulsating characters in the Spirit Realm hadn't finished. A moment later, the characters disappeared, and then a piece of Ruby-colored Key appeared.

"The Trial Key, the time is three years from now..." ' Lai's ' lips twitched. She knew that the Spirit Realm wanted her to participate in the third-tier Trial, but three years was too long for Fran.

However, she still kept the key, even though she probably wouldn't need it, but perhaps she could sell it.

A key for advancing from apprentice level is definitely worthless, but a key for advancing to the third tier is a different story.

After doing all this, ' Lai ' had a thought and disappeared into the Gray Space.

She's wasted too much time; it's time to deal with the matter the Lord of Radiance mentioned.

When ' Lai ' regained his senses of where he was, he was in an open-air palace surrounded by iridescent clouds and mist, like a fairyland.

There are numerous scratch marks and some bright silver scales remaining on the ground, which suggests that Dragonkin with silver scales once lived here.

A sphere of light floated in the center of the Divine Temple. ' Lai ' could feel a sense of familiarity from it. This was probably something left behind by the Lord of Radiance when he moved the realm.

The Lord of Radiance actually started moving realms a long time ago, and even the original lord of the Brilliant Dream still hasn't realized that his home has been stolen.

The reason is naturally that the Spirit Realm itself does not have an alarm when its boundaries are invaded and its Block are moved, since under normal circumstances, lords will not leave their own boundaries.

When a lord is within his own territory, even if the visitor is a Fourth Order Profession Holder, he cannot take away any piece of Block.

Of course, if some of their underlings or servants were in the realm and their Block were stolen, they would naturally notify the lord, but Felicity didn't like to do so.

This resulted in Felicity still being in the Half-Dragon realm, outwardly supporting the Half-Dragon in finding the suddenly attacking followers of the Lord of Radiance, while secretly looking for an opportunity to steal back the Block.

After Lyle learned of this situation, he would occasionally reveal his whereabouts, but he would run away when a real fight broke out.

Despite the encirclement deepening, Lyle can still hold out for some time.

However, it seems that Lyle can also put his return trip on his schedule, since the Lord of Radiance has moved almost all the Block, leaving only the last Sun Block.

' Lai ' walked up to the orb of light and asked:

"What is it? Didn't you say I should stay inside to minimize the lord's attention?"

The ball of light paused for a moment before a sound came out.

"There was a minor issue, but it's not a big problem."

"The realm controlled by the God of War next door has taken notice of what's happening here."

"Although the God of War and His followers aren't particularly fond of the Dragon Clan, they won't take any action against our actions of moving Block."

"But as you know, there's a Sun Block here, and they're concerned about it."

"A third-level believer came to our door this time specifically to emphasize this matter. I can't show up in person, and the others aren't quite qualified, so you'll have to go and greet them."

"Of course, this person could also be the main obstacle preventing you from moving the Block; you can get to know them first."

"Is that all..." ' Lai ' blinked, then said.

"So how do I go and greet them now?"

"I'll teleport you there later. As a matter of courtesy, you..."

The orb of light seemed to sense the situation here. It saw that ' Lai's ' originally clean white robe was now stained with a reddish hue, and the sleeves and hem looked as if they had just been pulled out of blood.

"Never mind, it seems your manners are just right for the God of War."

The Lord of Radiance originally wanted ' Lai ' to change his clothes before going over, but after thinking about it, He felt that this appearance, after just having engaged in fierce battle, might be what the God of War liked.
