Aya nodded and then glanced in the direction of the Black Family thoughtfully.
Should she get involved?
But she couldn’t really enter the Black Family’s areas without anyone finding out.
Just last time, Silas found her.
’If I want to be able to be free, I need to advance to rank 7...’
Thinking about this, Aya’s expression was determined and she planned to arrange for a trip out tonight.
The farce with Josh and the others were nothing serious and aside from them quarreling, there was nothing else that happened.
After hearing that there might be some troubles in the Black Family, Leon decisively return.
The others also felt that it would be good to take a break.
Dean and Yun planned to stay at home for practice in the next few days.
Evan also wanted to practice.
Aya went back home and requested for a closed door training and packed enough food for herself. This kind of training was mostly for those who wanted to advance in their rank.
On the surface, Aya’s mana was at the peak of rank 1, so it should be close for her to advance to rank 2.
But in the lower rank, there was no need for one to lock themselves in their room and focus training all day long. After all, there was no bottleneck or anything like that.
But the White Family would not interfere in Aya’s practice.
Perhaps, they had already known that Aya’s talent was not really good and if she wanted to practice harder by herself, no one would bother to stop her.
In this way, Aya earned herself some time.
Aya locked her room and set up a protective formation. After that, she looked at the teleportation formation in front of her.
The teleportation formation that Aya set up before could only head towards the alley where there were so many ghosts around.
Aya definitely didn’t want to go there.
She had no interest to fight those ghosts even if it was not impossible to do.
But it would be a waste of her mana.
Moreover, these ghosts seemed to be attracted to her for some reason. If not because she hid her breath, it was estimated that these ghosts would be chasing after her all the time. Even then, her skills were not good enough.
She needed more mana.
And advancing to rank 7 is the best option for her.
When Aya came out this time, she also set up a teleportation formation near the areas where those magic rats were located. While it might not be the safest place to set up a formation, but it was the only place she could do it without anyone noticing.
Moreover, she could set up a different one at different places after she went there.
Aya activated the formation and with a faint light, she disappeared.
When Aya came out, she had appeared on the field where they fought against the big magic rat before. Her eyes narrowed when she sensed the mana movement around her.
Aya looked up and saw that there were some magic warriors coming. It seemed that the people from Wansu City had already arrived to check the rank 3 magic rats here.
She didn’t want to be seen by others, so Aya quickly erased the magic formation and then wore a cloak before running to the forest.
The forest was huge and it would take some time to travel here.
Using almost her fastest speed, Aya ran around the forest and made some markings on the way out. She didn’t want to stay near Wansu City lest they felt the commotion.
After a while, Aya found a spacious area and looked around.
With a flick of her hand, several magic cores came out from her storage scrolls and Aya quickly set up the defensive formation. She would be focusing on her breakthrough for the next few hours. Considering that the amount of mana she has in this life was much more than her previous life, Aya guessed that her breakthrough would definitely take a long time.
Because of this, she couldn’t protect herself when she was busy.
The defensive formation is a necessity.
And it had to be able to block up to peak rank 6 attack.
’Let’s hope there’s truly no rank 7 magic warriors nearby.’
Aya took a deep breath and then sat in front of a tree with her legs crossed. She took a deep breath and slowly started her meditation.
Even though she was using her ’system’ when she practiced most of the time, the knowledge would be feed back to her mind. This would help her understand the practice as if she had practiced by herself for a long period of time.
This skill might look magical.
But it had limitations.
After all, Aya practiced on her own and when she wanted to actively do it, she had to familiarize herself again. Thankfully, Aya still meditated most of the time to increase her mana faster.
In this way, Aya reached the meditative state quickly.
The mana in her heart trembled when it sensed the invasion of Aya’s mind and the circulation was getting tighter.
It was slowly being compressed.
Halfway done, Aya could sense that the mana in her surroundings started to move towards her. Some of the mana were absorbed into her body, which would help to strengthen her body to a certain degree. But because the process was guided by the violent attraction from her condensing her mana heart, it was a bit uncontrollable.
And Aya had no time to pay attention.
She could only pay attention to her own mana heart.
The process of breakthrough would last for a few hours at the very least.
During this period of time, it could be said that a mage was at their weakest point. They would usually ask for help from others to protect them or use some kind of potions to speed up the process. But these kinds of potions were expensive and would usually make their mana somewhat impure.
