The location of the Earth Holy Spring was very special, it was situated beneath the Silver Trade Tower.
After spending some time, Principal Zhu brought Fang Yu down to the fifteenth underground floor of the Silver Trade Tower!
What was surprising was this place was like some unknown organization had secretly excavated and protected an underground hall.
Moreover, the entire hall was constructed from extremely special crystalline rock. At a glance, it was clearly the work of an exceptionally skilled architect.
Upon entering the underground hall.
Fang Yu was astonished to discover that roughly an entire patrol squad was guarding the place, and the captain of the patrol was actually a Mid-Tier mage.
A Mid-Tier mage guarding the entrance?
That alone was enough to show just how highly the Earth Holy Spring was valued throughout Bo City.
"Behind this Gate is the Earth Holy Spring. You can go inside for a week of closed-door cultivation. The Earth Holy Spring maintains its own cycle, so don't touch it. Just sit on the leather cushion at the center and meditate or practice control," Principal Zhu instructed Fang Yu, signaling that he could go in and begin his seclusion.
"Alright."
Fang Yu nodded and prepared to step inside.
"Oh, right. I have something to give you," Principal Zhu suddenly recalled and said to Fang Yu.
"Give me something?" Fang Yu was somewhat surprised.
Principal Zhu somehow produced four blue crystals. Each crystal was engraved with tiny light patterns resembling stars.
"These crystals are?" Fang Yu asked in confusion.
"The Earth Holy Spring's baptism provides a powerful push to help you break through to the Mid-Tier barrier, but it's not absolutely guaranteed."
"These crystals are Ice Element cultivation resources. They can increase your chances of success," Principal Zhu explained.
Crystals.
Cultivation resources?
Fang Yu was slightly shocked.
These weren't cheap.
His relationship with Principal Zhu was nothing more than that of an ordinary student and principal, yet he was taking such care of him?
Seeing Fang Yu's hesitation, Principal Zhu said,
"Take them. As long as you can break through, this is nothing!"
"Thank you, Principal Zhu!"
Fang Yu said sincerely.
Principal Zhu smiled broadly, and a trace of expectation appeared in his eyes.
The extremely important National Magic Examination was approaching. As long as Fang Yu broke through, he could seize this opportunity to make Bo City's name resound loudly once again.
Bo City had gone far too long without such glory.
However, if he were to learn that Fang Yu actually had no intention of participating in this National Magic Examination, one wondered what he would think.
Next, Principal Zhu said nothing more. He had already explained everything that needed to be said, so he turned and left.
Inside the Earth Holy Spring was a completely sealed chamber built from bluish-black massive stones. Every single black stone was engraved with strange magical patterns and incantations.
Fang Yu was, after all, a well-read person. He could recognize the meaning behind some of the symbols. If nothing unexpected, it was likely a High-Tier defensive spell.
So although it appeared to be nothing more than a stone chamber, even an earthquake might not be able to shake it in the slightest. It was true airtight protection in every sense.
After passing several pillars, Fang Yu was surprised to find that the Earth Holy Spring was nothing more than a diamond-shaped stone altar.
The altar had only four tiers. At the very bottom, a small channel had been carved out, forming a circulating groove. The crystal-clear Holy Spring water, nearly invisible to the eye, flowed gently through the narrow stone trench.
Fang Yu observed it for a while but did not notice anything particularly special, so he sat down on the leather cushion.
It was worth mentioning that even without entering meditation, Fang Yu could already feel a nourishing energy surging toward his body.
This unique warmth made him feel as if his entire being were about to ascend.
His Ice Element Stardust and Space Element Stardust, both in a slightly saturated state, began to stir.
Like two infants suddenly catching the scent of mother's milk, they began to suck in the energy frantically. With each intake, their forms expanded by several degrees.
Back when he had first Awakened the two Stardusts had truly been tiny. Within the vast spiritual universe, they were nothing more than specks of stardust, their glow dim and obscure, sometimes even difficult to find.
But after two years of cultivation, the Stardust had gradually grown stronger. Their radiance was now clearly visible, and each patch of Stardust seemed to possess its own territory, harboring mysterious power.
At this moment, both patches of Stardust were undergoing subtle growth. The change within a single hour rivaled an entire day of Fang Yu's bitter cultivation!
"This feels incredible. My experience is rising like I've got cheats enabled!" Fang Yu was inwardly ecstatic.
With such an exceptional cultivation opportunity, it seemed absolutely necessary to snatch resources from those second-generation mages born into privilege.
Otherwise, at this rate of cultivation speed, even a fool could become a powerhouse ahead of their peers.
Far too many resources were controlled by a select few. If he hadn't revealed his Basic-Tier Level Three strength, this opportunity with the Earth Holy Spring would never have fallen into his hands.
With the nourishment of the top-tier cultivation magic tool, the Ice Orb combined with the effects of the Earth Holy Spring, within seven days of cultivation, he was absolutely confident he could break through to the Mid-Tier!
Four days later.
Inside the stone chamber, Fang Yu's brows were tightly furrowed.
In his spiritual world, the Stardust churned endlessly, the stars surging in waves.
The stars gathered together, as though attempting to shatter the light curtain that enveloped them.
When all the stars converged, they could unleash immense power. Yet despite a long effort, that power was unable to break through the light curtain.
This was the bottleneck.
Fang Yu did not panic. Instead, he continued drawing in the Earth Holy Spring's energy from the outside world, absorbing it steadily and methodically, allowing it to nourish the stars.
"Break!"
Fang Yu roared inwardly.
In his spiritual world, the silver stars within the light curtain brewed a chilling brilliance. When their power condensed to a certain threshold, they fused into a radiant mass and erupted violently, soaring upward.
A cracking sound echoed from the light curtain. It was the sound of the bottleneck shattering.
At that moment, the stars smashed through the light curtain and, within the darkness, carved out a far more resplendent silver Nebula.
Now, forty-two new stars were derived, forming a total of forty-nine stars that floated within the Nebula like a galaxy, dazzling beyond compare.
At the same time, Fang Yu felt a vast surge of magic power pouring forth, continuously expanding the boundaries of his spiritual world.
His spiritual will was strengthening, and his range of perception was extending.
This was a breakthrough into the first level of the Spiritual Realm.
A short while later, Fang Yu slowly opened his eyes. Feeling the Space Element Nebula, a smile spread across his face.
Space Element Mid-Tier Magic.
Space Rhythm · Compression!
This was the first level of Space Element Mid-Tier magic, and it was extremely practical.
A mage could adjust the intensity of spatial compression according to their needs, causing objects within the space to suddenly endure several times, dozens of times, or even hundreds of times the original spatial pressure.
If controlled properly, one could even compress gravity itself, making an enemy instantly bear more than ten times their normal weight, rendering them unable to move an inch.
Next, as long as he completed control of the stars, he would be able to release a Mid-Tier spell.
Fang Yu withdrew his thoughts.
There was still time. He would strive to achieve everything in one go and break through to Ice Element Mid-Tier as well. He took out the four crystals, absorbed them, and entered seclusion once more.
Another three days passed.
At this moment, Fang Yu rose from the leather cushion, unable to suppress the curve at the corner of his lips.
"Dual-element Mid-Tier mage. Spiritual Realm Level One, at Seventeen years old is unimaginable."
