Chapter 23: Genius

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Indeed, his magical power aptitude had already been changed from the original level-4 to level-5+. Magic power aptitude was divided into five levels. Level-1 was the lowest, and level-5 was the highest. Currently, his magical power aptitude had obviously exceeded level-5, so it was shown as level-5+, which meant he was of genius calibre.

This is indeed a genius. With such a good aptitude and a high-grade silver-tier meditation technique, coupled with the help from me, the Old Ancestor, he will certainly become a powerful existence which will surpass Norton in a short period of time. When the time comes, he will be able to lead the family clan to rise up.

Ron seemed to have heard Romo’s thoughts. He immediately knelt down respectfully to Romo and said solemnly, “Don’t worry, Old Ancestor. I will definitely work hard to cultivate. I will not let you down!” Romo nodded his head in satisfaction. Then, Ron turned around and left. He was going to continue cultivating.

He is probably hoping to become a Great Mage before the return of his little fiancée. Although he is a real genius now, he has already advanced three levels in a row earlier and has exhausted his reserves. It will be a little hard for him to break through level-4 within just a few days, even though he is a genius.

But it doesn’t matter. Don’t you have me, your Old Ancestor? With my help, you will definitely be able to achieve this small wish.

Romo then asked the System, “System, is there anything that can help speed up cultivation?”

[Yes.] As the System spoke, an item appeared in front of Romo.

[Hundredfold Cultivation Talisman: Single-use consumable item. Upon use, it can accelerate the cultivation speed by one hundred times. This can last for ten days. It cannot be stacked or canceled. Price: 20,000 Faith Points!]

Not bad, a hundred-fold cultivation speed. Ten days will be equivalent to a thousand days of cultivation, which is three years. Hehe, this is enough to make up for the two years of injury in between and even more. When the time comes, becoming a Great Mage is definitely attainable.

However, Romo looked at his current Faith Points. He only had 10,000 left. This was not enough to buy anything. He could only wait a few more days.

Over the next few days, Romo saw that, apart from coming over on time to pay respect or to eat, Ron was cultivating so hard as if his life had depended on it. He even used meditation as a substitute for sleep. When the rest of the family saw him cultivating so hard, their hearts all ached a little. They thought that he had been so provoked by the news of Serena’s imminent return and her advancement to the realm of the Great Mage that he was cultivating so zealously.

In order not to provoke him further, the clansmen did not disturb him; they just let him cultivate. Perhaps, he would really be able to restore one or two broken magic runes. If this happened, it would bring some comfort.

What they did not know was that Ron’s strength had fully recovered, and that it had even far surpassed that of before. He had kept it from others because Romo had not allowed him to reveal this.

The other family members had been very busy as Arthur was about to turn a month old. Norton planned to hold a grand celebration. After all, the finances of the family clan had greatly improved, and even their strength had increased tremendously. They had to make use of this opportunity to show their strength to the entire Winterfrost.

I have 40,000 Faith Points now. There are only ten days left until little Arthur’s full month.

Romo looked at Ron, who was working hard at his cultivation, and knew that it was time to buy the Hundredfold Cultivation Talisman to help him cultivate. With this thought, Romo immediately opened the System Shop and spent 20,000 Faith Points to buy the Hundredfold Cultivation Talisman.

“Target for use: Ron Nicholas!” said Romo, and then the Hundredfold Cultivation Talisman turned directly into a golden light and flew directly into Ron’s head. Ron, who was meditating, was suddenly shaken.

He opened his eyes suddenly. A look of disbelief appeared on his face as he had just suddenly felt his cultivation speed increase drastically. He was now a genius, and his cultivation speed was already very fast. However, his cultivation speed had just increased suddenly by a hundred fold, and the magic runes in his body were spinning crazily as if he was having a fit. Although so far there was no problem, this abnormal situation had frightened him, and he stopped cultivating immediately.

Just when he was at a loss of what to do, he suddenly felt the temperature of the whole bedroom plummeting. He was shocked at first, and then he calmed down. This was because previously, when the Old Ancestor was giving him the Marrow Cleansing Pill in the ancestral hall, the temperature had also plummeted.

Sure enough, he saw a familiar scene appear in the air before him. A few large characters formed by the cold air appeared, “Relax and cultivate. This is Old Ancestor helping you!”

“Indeed, it is the Old Ancestor helping me!” Ron was overjoyed. He was also completely relieved. He kowtowed to Romo on the bed and said, “Thank you, Old Ancestor.”

Then he resumed his cultivation at a speed hundred times faster.

Old Ancestor is indeed amazing.

After a night of cultivation, Ron had condensed another magic rune.

Level-9 Mage!

Ron was ecstatic and he immediately went to the ancestral hall to pay his respect to the Old Ancestor. After kowtowing hard a few times, he immediately returned to his room to continue cultivating. A day passed, another magic rune had been condensed!

On the fourth day, Romo watched nervously as Ron used all twelve magic runes to set up a magic formation. For the past few days, Ron had advanced a level each day, and his speed was astonishing. However, this was normal. He was a genius now, and with the hundredfold cultivation speed, it would be strange if he was not fast.

However, Romo was still a little worried as he saw him about to advance to the Great Mage level. Previously, when Norton was advancing to the Great Mage realm, it had been very risky and he almost faltered. Romo did not want Ron to falter too, so he opened the System Shop and found the Realm Upgrade Protection Talisman. He was getting ready to buy it for Ron any moment to prevent him from failing in his advancement.

However, Ron was befittingly a genius. After he had set up the magic formation, he quickly connected all the runes together without stopping at all. Everything was done in one go, as simple as eating and drinking. Then a powerful aura radiated out; he had successfully advanced to the realm of Great Mage!

Great. Great. He’s really my wonderful descendant. He has saved me 10,000 Faith Points.

Romo was pleased to see Ron advance so easily.

The most happy person was still Ron. He did not expect to advance so easily. As he felt the strong magical power in his body, he was inexplicably excited.. He planned to test out his ability.
