Rei was no exception—because it was the foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei’s First Form was called:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Origin Tempering of the Arcane Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While transforming his body into a magical structure, it simultaneously reinforced his physical framework and deepened his compatibility with magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without mastering Root Magic the way Rei had, no one else could learn this technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, it required the battle intent of \"Ten Thousand Transformations of War Magic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, with modifications, it could be simplified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the effect would be greatly diminished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a combat technique perfectly tailored only for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if others learned a combat technique, they could never truly surpass its creator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When a combat technique was first created, it was inevitably custom-designed for the creator’s own body and abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the degree of compatibility was even more absurd than with self-created spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Second Form...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei was still thinking about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One advantage of creating his own combat style was flexibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the second form turned out poorly, he could later evolve it into something completely different while still following the original conceptual framework.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if someone else learned it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wouldn’t be able to modify it easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Change one thread, and the entire structure would move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet they wouldn’t understand the founder’s original thought process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loynes Magic Academy\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today there were no classes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, there was a small gathering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only five people were present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Izpalut\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morne\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack Pillar\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kanzaki Rei\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fischer\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re all here,\" Izpalut said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cups of coffee floated smoothly through the air and settled before each person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Jack Pillar saw Rei again, his feelings were extremely complicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His status had now changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had become a Royal Grand Mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although that was still an exalted position, there remained an insurmountable gap between it and the Chief Mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of the corner of his eye, Rei glanced toward Jack Pillar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enemies really do meet on narrow roads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since you’ve comprehended the Root, you’re not a fool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You should understand the cause and consequences involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone already knows the purpose of today’s gathering,\" Izpalut began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack Pillar nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s rare for Root Mages to gather and exchange insights about the Root.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, aside from Izpalut, the capital had only one Root Mage—Morne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only five of us?\" Rei asked Izpalut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All familiar faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, Rei had occasionally felt like Root Mages were everywhere—running into one here and there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected this group to actually represent the entire number present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then again, that explained why Jack Pillar had been able to serve as Loren’s Chief Mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was technically one more person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Zheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But given his physical condition...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei didn’t understand it and didn’t intend to think too deeply about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, sitting next to an unfamiliar Eighth-Tier Mage would probably feel rather oppressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Izpalut said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today’s exchange will begin with the youngest mage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei brushed a hand over the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several colored pages appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were Root notes borrowed from the Mage Association and Loynes Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve studied some manuscripts left by previous masters recently,\" Rei began. \"And I’ve gained a few insights from these sections...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, the exchange meeting was calm and harmonious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But whenever someone’s thinking aligned—or clashed—with another’s viewpoint, passionate questioning inevitably followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes even arguments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, even Izpalut had joined the quarrel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Izpalut snapped:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jack Pillar, what do you mean by the Origin Matter Theory? Are you saying my Root Magic is wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack Pillar sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The origin matter you derived isn’t true origin matter. Real origin matter cannot be decomposed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then your Common Origin Hypothesis is full of flaws as well! What if the magic I construct carries my own unique signature—like Root Magic? How do you prove my spells share the same origin as yours?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The exchange gradually turned into a full argument.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After arguing, they suppressed their irritation and moved on to discussing the next Root theory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Root Mages began exchanging ideas...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They easily forgot everything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when their thoughts were completely exhausted and inspiration ran dry—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did they realize that four days had already passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about it carefully...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In those four days, aside from that cup of coffee, they had eaten nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nor had they slept even once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Rei finally broke free from that state, his body felt completely drained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind was exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the knowledge remained vivid, every detail of the meeting still fresh in his memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei waved a hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meat and water appeared on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway... everyone should eat something first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The exchange meeting finally ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was now November 16.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei returned home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He skipped bathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skipped massage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply collapsed onto the bed and slept wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei sat up in bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder... they told me to request leave afterward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, the exchange had brought him many new ideas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei felt that he had finally pried open a small crack in the gate of his Second Root Magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"On the 20th, I have to go to the White Tower for the assessment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And on the 25th, Iz and the others will depart for the Abyssal Descent Valley.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Church of Death planned a ritual on December 1st.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still intended to monitor it personally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although their forces had been heavily struck, numerous bases destroyed, and many \"sacrifices\" rescued—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their plan should already be ruined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so, vigilance was necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final sacrifice—Bai Jiang—was involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how careful he was, it wouldn’t be excessive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That matter wasn’t really his responsibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azure Palace – Basement\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei had remodeled the basement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was covered with perception-blocking wards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one except him could probe inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The basement was filled with ritual arrays, alongside piles of different corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, Rei killed ants here to harvest souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also experimented with various forbidden rituals learned from forbidden books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he avoided drawing rituals that could summon catastrophic disasters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Graaah—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several humanoid corpses suddenly lunged at Rei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei casually tossed a few fireballs, blasting them away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh... who even came up with methods like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After advancing as a Death Priest, Rei had gained a ritual called Corpse-Soul Resurrection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By injecting a soul into a corpse, it could be revived and regain part of its former combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ritual never said the revived corpse would be controllable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After testing it, Rei confirmed the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were completely uncontrollable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The revived corpses attacked friend and foe alike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he hadn’t revived a continent-sinking monster corpse inside Knoroya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he’d become a historical criminal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Death Priest rituals were truly bizarre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there was any practical use...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei could imagine reviving a continent-sinking monster and immediately fleeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene in his mind resembled a villain activating a Demon King, laughing maniacally before disappearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving the unfortunate heroes behind to fight the boss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei sat beside the worktable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scrolls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Potions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hidden weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Portable ritual arrays.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for potions, Rei hadn’t commissioned the royal Fifth-Tier Alchemist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he hired another Fifth-Tier alchemist in Knoroya to create poison using sixth-tier continent-sinking monster venom sacs and cursed eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The resulting poison could severely affect Sixth-Tier monsters and Level 6 profession users.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Aberrant Curse Poison]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint barrier appeared around Rei’s body as energy flowed across his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened the bottle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mist Release (Tier 2).\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The potion instantly dispersed into countless purple mist particles filling the entire room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave of his hand, the mist gathered again, condensing into liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Transparency Spell (Tier 2).\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark purple liquid turned colorless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm... not sure if I’ll actually need this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei glanced at the weapons laid beside the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Armor-Breaking Mace\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mana-Severing Dagger\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poisoned Throwing Knife\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked one up casually and practiced several combat techniques, familiarizing himself with each weapon’s feel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reading forbidden books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Experimenting with forbidden knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>November 20 arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The month had passed quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, Rei finally entered the White Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without permission, entry into the White Tower was completely forbidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only scholars recognized by the Tower could enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that recognition came from the semiannual knowledge examination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The test covered an enormous range of subjects:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Monsters\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Geography\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magic\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mathematics\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Death\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combat

Phases\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Examinees could choose whichever field they believed themselves most proficient in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The White Tower had no backdoor access.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone had to pass the exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tower would not open its doors for the ignorant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if someone’s scholarship truly ran deep, they wouldn’t fail the exam either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The White Tower treated everyone equally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, on November 20, Rei stood among countless scholars taking the exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The towering white spire rose magnificently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a single blemish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A symbol of pure, unsullied knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, the White Tower had been called the Tower of Erudite Scholars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It accepted only the Erudite profession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, however, a council meeting concluded that individuals of other professions could also possess profound knowledge—sometimes exceeding that of ordinary Erudites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They deserved entry as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus the tower opened its doors to scholars of all professions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Tower of Erudite Scholars was renamed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The White Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its existence had contributed enormously to the theoretical progress of the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei entered using his true appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was little point hiding here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually he would have to reveal his identity anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise the examinee and the person receiving the qualification wouldn’t match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would only cause trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, his Flesh Magic for changing appearance was better kept secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the first floor of the White Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many doors surrounded the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each door corresponded to a different subject examination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei swept the area with his perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He planned to take the Magic exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But suddenly, his perception detected something strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A child?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the scholars stood a girl about Rei’s age—perhaps half a head shorter than him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this age...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could she already be a profession holder?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Rei hadn’t heard Kumironi mention performing another awakening recently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only person he remembered hearing about was an assassin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was she that assassin?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t carry any assassin’s aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the door she entered wasn’t related to assassination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oceanography.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she stepped through the doorway, her figure disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei knew nothing about oceanography.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, he didn’t follow her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he entered the Magic door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like passing through a ripple of water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond it lay a strange space filled with shifting colors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So this is how it works.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei had heard the White Tower was constructed by a Seventh-Tier Architect who once passed through Knoroya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing it now, it was truly extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though not officially a Wonder, it possessed a similar grandeur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Please

spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the test measured fundamental understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei began answering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Explain the fundamental principles behind spell

theoretical levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Rei had deep insight here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued writing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Based on the characteristics of Fire magic,

minutes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this really a test for scholars?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a Tier 3 Mage advancing to Tier 4 only needed to create a new spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone could already construct a prototype spell, they were practically at that stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder the White Tower’s pass rate was so low—even Erudites struggled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei sighed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then began constructing the spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to the Root discussions a few days ago, he had gained fresh insight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Root Magic, creating spells using opposing elements was trivial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After about one minute, the spell was complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heatwave Surge (Tier 3) was born in Rei’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then upgraded and transcended it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally

pretending anymore?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei suddenly felt like someone taking a college entrance exam—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only to be asked to explain how to build controlled nuclear

simply be learned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Root Magic, which was inherently unlearnable by others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, why would the Root Mages spend days debating?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei didn’t know the true essence of the Root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only describe his own understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After answering, he submitted the paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The exam ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The colors faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei saw a crowd of people nearby with painful, anxious
