Chapter 176: Chapter 170: Shaping Jade (Part 2)

He had to admit, once Lor used that space-crossing witchcraft continuously, there was nothing he could do to counter it.

But the battlefield is ever-changing, what if Lor couldn’t escape in time?

“Restrained?” Lor smirked, “What if I don’t use space-jumping witchcraft?”

Currently, aside from space-jumping witchcraft, he had the elemental true body’s innate ability to cross space to rely on for survival.

As soon as he had a thought, he could enter the third layer of space, making restraint a mere joke.

“Since you’re so confident, then bring it on.”

Hearing Lor’s words, Jerald immediately laughed, “When are you arriving? I’ll prepare a banquet in advance, after the duel, we can have a couple of drinks and replenish our power of origin.”

“Considering the special season, we can’t celebrate too grandly, but you’ve broken through the Fourth Ring, so a little celebration is in order.”

The little guy is getting a bit too cocky now, that’s not good, really not good.

Jade can’t show its best side without being polished.

He decided to be the carving knife that polishes Lor’s jade-like abilities.

Afterwards, he would comfort Lor at the banquet, as the final polishing, believing it would earn him the little guy’s gratitude.

“I’ll be there soon, if you want to arrange a banquet, please do it quickly, to avoid delaying the duel experiment,” Lor said honestly.

To be honest, he had quite a good impression of Speaker Jerald.

When they last met, without saying a word, Jerald brought out his collection, some materials of which would be extremely precious even in future generations.

Unfortunately, if he didn’t ’persuade’ him this time and went straight to the Abyss, not only would Jerald have something to say, the other Speakers guarding the Abyss entrance would also try to dissuade him, creating more trouble.

After careful consideration, persuading Jerald first, and then having Jerald persuade the other Speakers, was the most straightforward choice.

The only downside was that it might hurt him a bit, but seeing Jerald’s usual broad-mindedness, he probably wouldn’t mind a little setback, right?

“Arriving soon?” Jerald raised an eyebrow, but didn’t really mind, and nodded, “Alright, I’ll arrange it.”

With that, he ended the communication, walked to a long table, placed two pots of fine wine, then spread out his perception to find his assistant and have him come up to prepare the ingredients.

“Hmm, I also need to make a hundred special memory balls later, the scene of the first spatial mage being beaten must be well-recorded.” As he waited for his assistant to come upstairs, Jerald had an interesting idea pop into his head.

Without delay, Jerald raised his palm slightly, and a translucent blue crystal started to form in his hand.

…

Elsewhere.

Lor stepped out of his dwelling, his spiritual power sank into his sea of consciousness, activating the origin container within, spreading his perception, and using space-jumping witchcraft to jump north.

“Ssscrack——”

The next moment, Lor emerged from the spatial fissure on the northern coastal skyline of Betula Continent.

“Buzz——”

Having just crossed 150,000 miles, Lor didn’t cast the space-jumping witchcraft again, instead, he activated the true body of the space element within the origin container.

Above the northern sky of Betula, Lor instantly expanded into a pitch-black, approximately ten-mile tall elemental giant.

Using his physical form for space jumps required consuming one percent of elemental energy, whereas in the form of the elemental true body, only one-thousandth was needed.

When traveling long distances, the elemental true body was naturally the best choice.

Silently, the true body of the space element merged into the space, jumping northward with a speed of 150,000 miles in an instant.

…

At the top floor of the blue wizard tower in northern Milton Continent.

Jerald wore a slight smile as he watched the special memory ball gradually take shape in his hands.

This thing was different from the ordinary memory balls sold outside, it could last for at least ten thousand years, and common fourth-ring witchcraft couldn’t destroy it.

In the future, it would be quite amusing to occasionally bring this out to tease the little guy.

However, just before the memory ball was fully formed, he suddenly sensed a powerful presence appearing thirty thousand miles away.

And before he could spread his perception to investigate, that presence had already come within a hundred miles of his wizard tower.

Jerald spread his perception, glanced at the black elemental giant standing on the cloud a hundred miles away, then at his assistant who was heading to the top floor, and finally at the memory ball that had just formed in his hand, falling into deep thought.

Did Lor mean “soon” as in seconds?

And most importantly, if he didn’t sense wrong, Lor’s spiritual power seemed to have reached the Fourth Ring’s limit.

As Jerald was in a daze, his continent communication device suddenly rang.

Snapping back to his senses, Jerald didn’t look at the continent communication device, but instead, through his perception, he transmitted his voice to Lor, who was dissipating his true body thousands of miles away and fiddling with his continent communication device, “Which wizard tower were you using to communicate with me just now? And what about your spiritual power?”

He suspected Lor had already arrived in Milton, and it was only upon reaching Milton that he had sent him the communication.

Otherwise, how could he have crossed the vast Endless Sea so quickly to arrive outside his wizard tower?

“Uh, I was communicating with you from the Cooper Wizard Tower in Betula Continent.”

In the sky, Lor blinked, put the continent communication device into his space ring, and said, “As for the spiritual power enhancement, that’s the result of researching players.”

His perception couldn’t directly penetrate the top floor of the wizard tower or each core laboratory within, so he had to use the continent communication device to notify Jerald.

Although this was somewhat inconvenient, it was necessary, as every wizard had little secrets they didn’t want others to discover.

Only those with the highest authority, the Tower Master, had the right to perceive everything within and outside the wizard tower.

“Spatial mage…player…” At this moment, he finally understood what the space of ’spatial mage’ truly meant.

Distance in front of Lor was probably just an illusion, wasn’t it?

As for the players, he had also taken a few days in the past to study them, but he didn’t figure out anything.

He didn’t care much about Lor’s research results on instantly enhancing spiritual power, because for wizards of the Fourth Ring and above, whether spiritual power reached its limit a bit faster or slower didn’t matter; it would get there eventually.

He cared about the players’ ability to optimize witchcraft.

“Fortunately, my previous agreement with him was not to use space-jumping witchcraft.” Jerald let out a soft sigh of relief.

If Lor could use space-jumping witchcraft, he probably wouldn’t even see Lor’s shadow, let alone fight him.

“Lor, since you’ve come from Betula, you must be tired… In any case, come in and rest for a while.” Jerald transmitted his voice, “I have some things to deal with, after finishing that, we’ll proceed with the duel experiment.”

While transmitting, Jerald used water flow to open the top floor’s door of the wizard tower, while his hand continued to condense the memory ball.

Having a strong Lor was a good thing, from the little guy’s current performance, especially if he wasn’t within Francis’ ten-thousand-mile range and was intent on escaping, even Francis wouldn’t be able to do anything against him.

And in the future, it goes without saying.

But I can suppress this little guy once, so I must cherish the opportunity and get more memory records.

“Alright.” Lor said nonchalantly as he flew towards the portal Jerald opened.

He could afford to waste a day or a half, so he didn’t mind giving the Speaker a bit of face.

“Whoosh——”

Soon enough, Lor flew into the top floor of the wizard tower, scanned the area, and saw Jerald sitting at a long table, hand raised, condensing glistening little water droplets.

“What are you doing?” Lor asked curiously.

The small water droplets looked somewhat like special memory beads he had seen in a previous life, but he didn’t think Jerald would be so idle.

“Making some memory beads, recording our upcoming duel experiment for future viewing.” Jerald spoke frankly without holding back.

This couldn’t be hidden, and he hadn’t intended to hide it from Lor.

Polishing a beautiful jade naturally called for recording the memory to make it more meaningful.

“Ah, you plan on making some blackmail material on yourself?” Lor remarked.

“What, are you scared?” Jerald raised his head and smiled, “Getting cold feet?”
