Chapter Summaries

Wayne finished Sacred Domain History class and visited Linus in the library to obtain a light-attribute knight breathing method for his follower. Linus offered him a cheap copy of the incomplete Light Elemental Breathing Method, explaining that it could reach Rank Seven but required a contract with a proud Light Dragon, which knights had never managed to secure.

• The teacher explained that the Myriad Clans Continent held clans from three origins: the Sacred Domain Plane Cluster, the Sanctuary World, and friendly planes brought in during the thirty thousand years of war.
• Wayne left class and went to the library’s ninth-floor special area to ask Linus for a light-attribute breathing method for his knight follower.
• Linus teased Wayne about having a girlfriend and tried to sell him a potion before Wayne redirected the conversation to the breathing method.
• Linus offered Wayne a copy of the Light Elemental Breathing Method for three supreme-grade magic crystals, prompting Wayne to question the unusually low price.
• Linus explained that the method was complete through Rank Seven but required a contract with a Light Dragon, a legendary dragon that no knight had ever contracted.

Wayne bought Linus’s untested Light Elemental Breathing Method and a potion, then spent ten months cultivating in seclusion before advancing to a Rank One formal wizard. Afterward, he learned Aurora was already an advanced knight and was training to catch up with him.

• Wayne learned that Linus had compiled the untested Light Elemental Breathing Method himself and bought it along with a blood-red potion.
• Wayne shut himself away for ten months, prioritizing cultivation while Aurora handled trivial matters.

• Wayne learned that Aurora had reached the advanced knight level in ten months while practicing the Light Elemental Breathing Method.

Wayne celebrated becoming a first-level formal Lord Wizard, learned how to use the Sanctuary Emblem, and spoke with Rose Marquis, who expected to meet him at the next academy enrollment. The next day, he attended class, where Riley singled out the newly advanced wizard in the room, drawing his classmates’ attention.

• Wayne attended Riley’s class on the relations among the three major races, where Riley explained that he had introduced himself out of respect for a first-level wizard in the room.

Riley taught Wayne and the freshmen how the relationship between humans, dragons, and elves developed and why it had to be protected. After class, Riley introduced himself as a sixth-year student, and Wayne asked why he was so interested in him.

• Riley described how Sanctuary's blessings and the races' complementary resources created a stable alliance, and warned the students against hostility toward elves or dragons.

• Wayne asked Riley why he was so enthusiastic toward him.

Wayne exchanged contacts with Riley, then visited the library to learn about the Elf Continent and choose two First-Rank Array Diagrams for his cultivation. He left with the Golden Nurturing and Teleportation Array Diagrams and a Dragon Continent travelogue.

• Riley told Wayne that his rank and talent earned him respect, revealed that he was Wright's elder brother from the main direct line, and exchanged contact information with him.
• Wayne read a travelogue about the Elf Continent and considered whether seeds from its Life Sacred Tree could be used to cultivate more trees and little elves.
• Wayne compared the Golden Nurturing, Teleportation, and Golden Shield Array Diagrams, then chose the first two because they would support his future cultivation and territory.
• Wayne asked the library senior student to exchange the two diagrams and a Dragon Continent travelogue, paying with two high-grade magic crystals and the Rose Marquis's gold card.
• The senior student registered the exchange and warned Wayne not to share the formation diagrams before he left the library.

Wayne heard that Aurora’s three older brothers wanted to follow him, learned about their talents and training, and agreed to take them in after understanding their circumstances.

• Wayne arrived at Classroom 303 to attend the Basic Information on Dragons course, where an old wizard began teaching after acknowledging him respectfully.

• Wayne asked whether dragons could surpass Upper Dragons, whether they needed magic crystals to cultivate, and whether the Dragon Mother possessed all elements.
• The instructor said Upper Dragons could not be surpassed, dragons did not need magic crystals for their own cultivation, and the Dragon Mother was a five-element dragon.

Wayne welcomed Aurora’s three brothers, the Deli family, but rejected their father’s overly restrictive Sanctuary Contracts and told them to sign contracts like Aurora’s instead. While Andrew went to buy more scrolls, Wayne bathed as the brothers joked about Aurora’s food.

• Nia told Wayne she had advanced to level two and could now tend three million mu of Dragonblood Ginseng.

• Wayne told Aurora to ask General Deli to review her Breathing Method, and she agreed.
• After completing follower registration, Wayne and his group visited the Contribution Points Exchange Office, where an old man explained that points came from academy missions or top-grade magic crystals.

• Wayne calculated that an egg required only one hundred top-grade magic crystals and concluded that the cost was manageable.
