Chapter 66: Tenfold Speed for the Entire Clan
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Both Ron and Norton knew how precious the Blue Jade Badge was. Ron held the precious badge and looked at Norton. Norton nodded. Only then did Ron accept it in relief. He said sincerely, “Thank you, Teacher Angela.”
Angela smiled and said, “You’re welcome. Didn’t I tell you? This is my gratitude to you for saving my four students.”
Then, she said to Norton, “I’ll take my leave now that this matter has been resolved.”
Norton said, “Please take care.”
Then, Angela got up to leave with the four students. Serena looked at Ron with a hint of reluctance in her eyes. If only Ron had accepted her teacher’s invitation just now, the two of them would be able to be together forever. Unfortunately, they were going to be separated again. She wondered when they would meet again.
As she passed by the ancestral hall, Angela suddenly looked in the direction of the ancestral hall, perplexed. She had already unleashed her mental strength, which she had used to sense the surroundings. However, after some thought, she retracted her mental strength. Even if the Nicholas family clan had some secret expert, it was still a family matter and had nothing to do with her. Furthermore, it was not good to probe into the other party’s secrets rashly. It might cause them to turn into foes. Hence, she stopped what she was doing and left quickly.
In the middle of the ancestral hall, Karuman heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at the departing Angela and could not help but sigh. She was indeed a teacher of the Sky Blue Magic Academy. The realm of a level-7 Great Archmage was indeed not something he could match up with. He had already used his greatest energy to hide his cultivation base, but the other party had still sensed him. Fortunately, the other party did not have any ill intentions. Otherwise, he would not have been her match.
When Angela left, she had also brought the assassin with her. As for what she would do when she got back, that was up to the Sky Blue Magic Academy. It had nothing to do with the Nicholas family clan.
Everything became calm again, and the members of the Nicholas family clan continued to be busy. Of course, they also worked hard at their cultivation. The one who worked the hardest was Ron. Ever since he rejected Angela’s invitation, he no longer had any worries, so his cultivation level increased even faster. In just three to four days, Ron’s cultivation level had increased again, and he had reached the realm of a level-10 Great Mage.
In the ancestral hall, Karuman, who was resting with his eyes closed, had sensed Ron’s advancement. He opened his eyes in shock and looked incredulous. He remembered that when he had just arrived at the Nicholas family clan, Ron was still only level-6. However, at that time, he had already thought that Ron was a genius. But, he had not expected that in just a few days, Ron had advanced consecutively by four levels to the realm of a level-10 Great Mage. This could not be described as a genius; he should be called a monster. Thinking of the difficulties he had faced when advancing to the realm of the Great Mage, it was simply too pathetic to behold. Compared to Ron, he was simply garbage.
Even though Ron had advanced to the realm of a level-10 Great Mage, he did not become arrogant at all. Instead, he continued to cultivate diligently without stopping for a moment. He wanted to increase his strength as much as possible. Only in this way would he be able to obtain more benefits in the Blue Jade Mystic Realm of Trial two months later, and also have more strength to protect himself.
Although Angela had previously said that the Blue Jade Badge could be sold, Ron did not want to do so. Even if the Blue Jade Mystic Realm of Trial was very dangerous, he wanted to take the risk himself and compete with the other geniuses. This was the only way he could sharpen himself as much as possible. Ron knew very well that if he stayed at home all the time, with the protection of his Old Ancestor, he would indeed be able to advance rapidly. However, such an advancement was like a fledgling that had not experienced the elements; it would never be able to spread its wings and fly high. If he wanted to soar high, he would have to experience life and death battles. Although it was dangerous, it would be worth it.
Moreover, his family clan needed some cultivation resources. He had chosen to participate in the Blue Jade Mystic Realm of Trial not only to sharpen himself, but also to find some cultivation resources for his family clan. Regarding this, whether it was Romo or Norton, they were all in favor. However, Norton could not help but be worried. After all, the mortality rate of the Mystic Realm of Trial was as high as two-thirds, which was a mortality rate greater than half. He could only hope that the ancestors would bless Ron so that he could return safely. Moreover, only Norton and Ron knew about the badge. As for the rest of the family, even Zoro and Norlin did not know. After all, the value of the Blue Jade Badge was too high. If news of this were to spread, it would definitely invite trouble, and even a Great Archmage might come to snatch it.
Two days later, a piece of news was spreading like wildfire throughout the Northern Empire. The Sky Blue Magic Academy had clashed with the Hell Fire Organization again. This time, the Sky Blue Magic Academy had uprooted a branch of the Hell Fire Organization and killed them. Blood flowed like a river.
On the other hand, the Hell Fire Organization had not reacted at all. However, there were rumors that the Hell Fire was consolidating its strength and wanted to teach the Sky Blue Magic Academy a lesson they would never forget. As for the details, no one knew, and this had nothing to do with the Nicholas family clan.
Romo was not most concerned about whatever Hell Fire. He was concerned about today being the first day of the third month. In other words, after the worship by the entire clan ended, he would be able to obtain half-priced items.
[Ding… Worship by descendants. Received 100 Faith Points. The effect of the Faith Candle has been activated. Received additional 100 Faith Points!]
After the last descendant had paid his respects, the half-priced items Romo had been looking forward to were refreshed. Romo quickly opened the System Shop. Sure enough, the half-priced items had been refreshed.
[Hundredfold Cultivation Speed Talisman. It is priced at 2,000 Faith Points.]
[A random commercial resource. It is priced at 500 Faith Points.]
[A random silver-tier magical item. It is priced at 10,000 Faith Points.]
[One Formation Enhancement Talisman. It is priced at 30,000 Faith Points.]
Romo took a look. The first two had all been used previously. There was no need for him to take a closer look at them, nor was there a need for him to take a closer look at the third one. The main one was the fourth item. [Formation Enhancement Talisman: It could strengthen formations and bestow upon them a special effect.]
“Hehe, this is good stuff.” After Romo saw the Formation Enhancement Talisman, he was immediately overjoyed. Then, he decisively bought all four items. Placing the rest down first, Romo used the fourth item, the Formation Enhancement Talisman, immediately after obtaining it.
[Ding… Use Formation Enhancement Talisman.]
[Ding… Formation upgraded. Received the Tenfold Cultivation Halo effect.. The cultivation effect of all family clan members within the range of the formation has increased by 10 times.]
