The corresponding illustration was provided, showing nine shattered circles connected to each other, also resembling a nine-level staircase that spirals downwards, with denser energy particles floating between heaven and earth the lower one goes.
"...According to his explanation, the Magic Domain is a wizard’s profound breakdown of a spell.
The deeper the understanding, the more energy particles one can gather with each casting, and the stronger the power of the spell."
Ronan closed the book, deep in thought.
If you compare it to the panel, this explanation is still quite reasonable.
At the end of the day, it’s about playing all the tricks with a spell...It has a bit of the essence of ’turning the rotten into the miraculous’ in the martial arts novels from his previous life.
"...Following this line of thought, every spell has the chance to evolve into a Magic Domain, with different spells leading to different types of Magic Domains, the effects of which are unknown..."
"In that era where everyone was as powerful as dragons, how were the Magic Domains of those who stood out amongst men defined?
Above the extraordinary?"
Ronan did not know, as up to this point, he had not met a second wizard like himself who had comprehended a Magic Domain.
Perhaps it was because the Wizard Land of Hoddam was too remote, backward, and barren?
"Where have I heard this phrase before?"
That Angelie, whom Jerome declared to be the most outstanding genius of the Silent Forest’s generation, had also lamented the barrenness and decay of this land.
"Has he also comprehended the Magic Domain?"
Ronan speculated that it was highly likely.
Angelie didn’t kill him; he even took the initiative to clear the traces on Ronan’s body and gifted him the God Burning Potion. Most importantly, because he saw Ronan exhibit the power of two Extraordinary Magic Domains, surpassing his bounds to slay an Official Wizard as an apprentice.
He treated Ronan as an interesting toy.
Because Ronan was too fragile at this stage and could not withstand his playing, Angelie "urged" him to grow quickly, to reach a level where he could be amused and toyed with...
Ronan looked out the window with a calm and expressionless face, his eyes catching onto a lush ivy, and he thought of that crazy woman, Lola.
"This feeling of having one’s life controlled and manipulated by others...truly terrible."
At this moment, Ronan was extremely eager to advance to the Official Wizard Level.
"Knock, knock, knock—"
At this time, a knocking sound suddenly came to his ears.
Ronan’s expression shifted slightly, he put the book back in its original place, stood up, and opened the door.
Outside the door, on the steps, stood a thin black-haired boy in a student Magic Robe, holding a tray with steaming hot, freshly baked pie.
The black-haired boy carefully greeted Ronan, looking to be two years younger than Ronan with only the strength of a Level 5 Apprentice.
"My name is Doby, I live next door, just wanted to say hello."
With that, the black-haired boy pointed to a dorm room next to his.
"Hello, my name is Ronan."
Ronan took the fruit pie handed over by the boy, politely introducing himself.
After a brief conversation with Ronan, boy Doby tentatively inquired, "If I may ask, who is your mentor?"
Ronan was startled, shaking his head, "I don’t have a mentor."
Doby looked very surprised, "You should be at Apprentice Level 9 by now, and yet you haven’t chosen a mentor? Many people have already chosen their future paths at Level 5 and 6."
"Is there a necessary connection between the two?"
"Of course, different mentors represent different fighting styles.
Without a mentor, you can’t inherit the Soul Seal, and even if you become an Official Wizard, your strength will be much weaker than others."
Doby talked to Ronan at length, clearly someone who liked to take care of others.
"You can start thinking about this issue now.
However, I suggest you wait until after Qi Hua before going to the mentor area; that way, your chances of being selected by a powerful mentor will be much higher..."
Doby pointed out the location of the mentor area to Ronan, who looked over and saw a collection of colorful and beautiful rooftops.
After seeing off the warm-hearted neighbor, Ronan returned to his room, pensive.
This was the second time he had heard this term.
The last time was in the notes of a Black Robed Wizard, Level 9 Apprentice.
From the information conveyed in their words, the Soul Seal seems to be an extremely important existence for an Official Wizard, largely determining the strength of a wizard.
"Let’s wait until I choose a mentor to understand more about it..."
Ronan shook his head, not delving further into this matter.
For him, the priority was to enhance his spiritual power to the level of Qi Hua.
In the following days, Ronan kept himself secluded, other than necessary supplies purchases, he hardly left his room.
Most of the time every day was spent in meditation, only sneaking out of the academy at night when he felt bored, finding a deserted place to practice spells.
In fact, the academy had a designated Magic Training Room, but Ronan did not want anyone in the academy to know that he had mastered the Extraordinary Magic Domain.
The crazy woman, Lola, had already firmly insisted that it was Ronan who killed Fa Ao, and if others discovered that he had comprehended the Extraordinary Magic Domain, with enough strength to threaten an Official Wizard, then he really could not rid himself of suspicion.
Thanks to the Master Level [Charging Weapon - Power of Break Magic] constantly consuming spiritual power, Ronan’s [Basic Meditation Technique] Proficiency level increased rapidly.
Ronan looked at his panel.
