Earth’s Greatest Magus

In the next few days, Klea went on and used her time to go back and forth between Golden City and Terra Palace.

Apart from the one hour of time she set aside every day to visit and check on Chumo's condition, she mainly used that time to look up any information and any items that could be of great help. In particular, those that could assist her two seniors on Earth break through to the magus realm, and perhaps a few others.

The thing she focused on searching for were the most effective pills and serums for people to reach Rank 9. Apart from that, she also went through various battle art scrolls and cultivation techniques, picking up those she found useful for combat in general a�" those that enhanced its practitioner's speed, strength, endurance, or soul power.

As for the artifacts, she chose to ignore them completely and didn't buy any. After all, as long as they managed to reach the magus realm, they would be granted access to the Magus Universe and thus be able to find one suitable for themselves later.

Last but not least, she also looked for the all-important [Scroll of Awakening], which apparently available in two different qualities. One look at their prices, she couldn't help but suck a deep breath of disbelief.

[Awakening Scroll - General - 100,000 spirit stones]

[Awakening Scroll - Advanced - 500,000 spirit stones]

With the spirit stones she had received from the people in the Terra Palace, Klea went ahead and bought four scrolls of the advanced version. Even though it was five times the price of the general version, it was the one with a much higher success percentage, just like the one she had received from the Magus Academy.

After that, Klea also purchased a crystal ball similar to one of the first artifacts she had seen at the Magus Academy. It was the item that could evaluate one's element affinity and aptitude.

With it, she would hopefully be able to discover talents that were among humans on Earth.

Klea naturally wanted to buy more stuff. Unfortunately, her idea wasn't really possible as she also had to consider the costs involved in bringing these items back, especially the restricted ones, to Earth which was a lower realm world.

[Storage box - 50,000 contribution points]

In contrast to its ridiculously expensive price tag, the so-called storage box was only one meter in length and half a meter wide. As if that wasn't bad enough, it could only be filled with three items.

This was of course quite a trouble, because with so many items on her current shopping list, she would have to pay for at least fifteen boxes to transport them to Earth. But then, when she thought that it would cost a total of 750,000 contribution points, which she could still afford with her savings from the previous game, it turned out to be greatly mistaken.

Apparently, there was a rule that stated the price would increase according to the amount of goods that would be brought. The rule was said to be made for the sake of limiting resources that was not supposed to be exist on a lower world.

Needless to say, the final price she was given made Klea explode in anger.

"One and a half million contribution points!? How dare they say that the rule is for the good of the world?! This is purely exploitation of us, people from lower realms!!"

And to make matters worse, these boxes could only be paid using contribution points. Therefore, all the spirit stones they obtained from the elven battle were of no use.

There were now two options for Klea to choose from. First, he could only accept reality and reduce the number of items she brought back; or two, she went to ask Thrax for contribution points. 𝒃𝒆𝙙𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝙡．𝙤𝒓𝙜

Since she was used to getting what she wanted, this dilemma really bothered her for quite some time. And to make her even more irritated, there were also limits set on the pets or creatures that could be brought to a lower realm world.

Klea's Bestet Tiger King was a legendary one, while on the other hand, from amongst Emery's plant creatures, Twik was considered a mythical level creature, meaning the little guy won't be able to follow her back to Earth.

She made a few trips to and from the Magus Alliance HQ, only for her request to be turned down each time.

Time went on and unknowingly a week had passed. It was finally time for Thrax to leave for the Magus Alliance army.

Before they truly parted ways, Klea and Thrax reaffirmed their promise to each other that they would meet at the [Ancient Celestial Ruins] that would be opened in seven years. An idea that everyone agreed on before the tournament started.

"Go kill more of those bastards for us, Thrax." She said with hatred. "In the meantime, I will make sure everyone else is well and ready. We will all meet again in seven years"

Thrax nodded in understanding at her words. Then, the two of them embraced warmly before the Immortal Gladiator turned around and, with a last glance at his dear friend, headed towards his future.

Seven years might seem like a short amount of time for a magus, but to these young acolytes, it was more than the total time they had known each other. As for what was in store for them in the future, no one knew for sure.

At the same time that Thrax left, the Eastern Sage finally finished the things that had been occupying his mind this past week. He went ahead and looked for Klea as he finally prepared for her training.

To her surprise, instead of practicing elemental proficiency or deepening formation understanding like they had talked about at first, Fuxi taught her how to further enhance her spirit attack, to improve her spirit reading ability.

"What's going on, Senior?" Klea asked, clearly confused. "What are you planning?"

As if he had expected her reaction, Fuxi quickly said, "I've been checking out the things left behnd by Izta in the past week, and I found something that can be of great help to you, that might be able to help us win the battle against the Kronos faction."

Intrigued by such words, Klea suppressed her doubts and asked, "What is it, Senior?"

"There is a place hidden deep on Earth, where lies the body of the First Man, King Anu of Babylonian Kingdom. To be able to access it, one needs a magus-level spirit reading ability. Hence, we will focus your training on that."
