Kirslin Castle was now a sea of celebration.
Although there was only one winner in the tournament, Grimm, the many Magi who had traveled thousands of miles to get here were still very excited.
After all, according to the rewards announced by the association, the chances of the winner advancing to rank 4 was almost 100%!
Therefore, they were not celebrating the victory of the tournament, but congratulating the Scattered Tower Forest for the birth of a new Tier 4 Sorcerer. Moreover, it was a powerful Legendary Sorcerer.
This also meant that the scattered towers were going to become even stronger!
Disregarding the scheming of the upper echelons of the association, the more powerful the scattered towers were, the higher their status would rise. This would also give them more confidence when it came to trading with the other three major Sorcerer Organisations.
Otherwise, the Magi of the central continent would always feel inferior when dealing with the three major Magi organisations.
This … was obviously a pain in the hearts of the Magi of the central continent!
As the final winner of the tournament, Grimm's Crimson Family became the future aristocratic family that many Magi wanted to pay a visit to.
Grimm had been injured in the battle, so he hid in a secret room and was carefully treated by Emelia.
Hence, the task of receiving the many visitors was handed over to Mary and Winley.
Mary was still a Tier 3 Sorcerer after all. She took out her identity and put on airs, politely and courteously dealing with the leaders and representatives of different Sorcerer families and organizations. Even though Winley was only a Grade 2 Magus, she had no choice but to follow Mary's example and greet one Magus after another politely. Most of the Magi she met were Grade 3 Magi.
As for those who wanted to form an alliance or join them, the two could only politely say that they needed to wait for the head of the family to come out of seclusion before they could make a decision. Only then did they send them away. As for those who offered gifts to express their goodwill, the two ladies naturally accepted them happily and noted down the names of their clans and visitors.
Although most wizards were eccentric and difficult to deal with, none of the Grade 3 wizards dared to give her a hard time, even if it was the Grade 2 Winley who received them.
For the next few days, Winley, who had the mentality of a little girl, was so happy that she could die!
In just a few days, she had become acquainted with almost all the Tier 3 wizards in the central continent, and every single one of them was unusually polite to her. Not to mention anything else, Tier 1 and 2 accessories, as well as some strange items that she had only seen in books, were also casually given to her, causing her small storage ring to almost burst.
Ignoring Winley who was immersed in simple happiness, Grim was hiding in a secret chamber, lying on a stone bed, silently enduring the healing from Emelia's green light wave.
Emelia was originally a plant-type talent, and later on, she fused with the soul of the mysterious Princess Spore, so her affinity with plants was even higher. Moreover, the Plant Magic was recognized as the most gentle among all the Healing Spells, and it had the least side effects. Therefore, under the repeated treatment of the green light waves, the injuries in Grimm's eyes had stabilized.
Lying on the stone bed, Grimm could feel the cool Life Particles seeping into his eye sockets, soothing his scorched and cracked eyeballs. He could finally put down all his worries and slowly fell asleep. In a corner of the secret chamber, the bored Rémy was counting his fingers and guarding the place with his Elemental Magic Machinery.
After all, Emelia was not Mary or Alice, so even if she showed enough loyalty, Grimm would not put his safety in her hands.
He slept for two whole days!
When Grim woke up in a refreshed state, his damaged eyeball had completely recovered. He could no longer feel the slightest sign of injury.
After all, the Primordial Flame was a type of law fire. Although the Law of Fire contained within it was weak and low-end, it was still not something that Grimm's fragile eyeballs could withstand.
Using his eyes as a guide, Grimm injected the Primordial Flame into Face Breaker Galor's body. At that moment, his eyes became the bridge and hub for the Primordial Flame. This kind of law fire was a great deal of damage to his enemies, but it was also a heavy burden to Grimm, who did not have the slightest bit of law power to protect himself.
Hence, his eyes could not withstand the pressure for more than two seconds before they were burnt into glassy black crystals. If not for Grimm's Body of Fire, which could nullify most fire damage, his body would have been burnt to a crisp as well.
Although he had suffered such a huge backlash, Grimm was still overjoyed.
The success of the Primordial Flame proved that the A.I. Chip's deduction of the laws of fire was correct. As long as Grimm followed this correct path, advancing to rank 4 or taking that crucial step was not just a dream, but a reality that could be realized.
However, this battle also allowed Grimm to recognize some of the problems with his body. The problems were the inferior bloodline and the weakness of his body!
It could be said that without the help of the A.I. Chip and these fortuitous encounters, with Grimm's talent as a Magus and his human bloodline, rank 3 would be the limit of his potential. It would be impossible for him to advance any further.
Even with the A.I. Chip and the Primordial Flame, advancing to rank 4 would exhaust the potential of his soul, and he would lose the motivation to continue advancing. Laws … Even if the A.I. Chip analysed all the laws of the Magus World and placed them in front of him, would his weak soul and body be able to support even greater and more terrifying power?
What were laws?
At the end of the day, laws were about using one's body as a fulcrum and one's spiritual force as a crowbar, using one's insignificant and weak strength to pry open the laws of the entire world. From there, one would be able to obtain strength that was tens or even hundreds of times greater than before.
And this kind of power was something that could never be achieved by relying on one's own hard work of meditation or cultivation!
Just like a human's stomach, it could only hold a certain amount of food. Once this limit was exceeded, no matter how exquisite the food was or how nutritious it was, one could not continue to eat it forever.
Hence, the energy system of a human was similar to a human's stomach. There was a limit to what it could hold, and digestion and absorption were slow. Under such circumstances, in a fair competition, humans would never be able to match up to wild magical beasts.
Hence, it had to be said that humans had learned from the natural world's magical beasts and learned how to draw magic patterns. This was a miraculous step that could be said to be a stroke of genius. This allowed humans to take a shortcut midway, leaping above wild magical beasts and giving birth to the strange and demonic branch of Magi.
However, no matter how much human Magi evolved and became stronger, they were limited by their inferior bloodlines and short lifespans. They could only be called kings within the plane, and could never be compared to the tyrannical races that transcended the plane.
This continued until human Magi grasped the power of laws …
The power of laws was like an unparalleled godly weapon in the hands of human Magi. This allowed their weak bodies and inferior bloodlines to burst forth with astonishing power.
It was the emergence of the power of laws that allowed Magi to truly stand at the peak of the plane, becoming powerful beings that could be mentioned in the same breath as the Gods, Dragons, Titans, and Lords of Calamity.
However, what restricted Magi from comprehending and grasping the power of laws was not others, but their own bloodlines and innate talents.
Take the Titans for example. They were powerful beings that were born from the will of the multiverse.
Just like human wizards, if one wanted to become a wizard in one fell swoop, they would need to go through layers of selection and screening, and then go through a bloody and cruel elimination. Only through hard meditation and years of hard work could one be lucky enough to become a wizard.
However, the Titans did not need that!
Even if they were just young Titans, breathing in and out magic energy had become a racial talent that was etched into their souls and instincts since they were born. While human Magi were still working hard day and night to accumulate magic energy through meditation, the Titans were already breathing in and out the magic energy in the environment as if they were breathing.
While human Magi were still struggling with the advancement system, the Titans only needed to search for magic energy as food to grow stronger step by step. From there, they would become powerful existences that human Magi could not hope to reach.
The most fundamental reason why the development of both sides was so disproportionate was that their bloodlines were different, and their racial talents were different.
That was why Grim could only understand how difficult it was for a Wizard to progress to his current level.
Hence, Grimm had a strange desire to improve or change the foundation of his bloodline.
The Astral Beast bloodline that he had obtained from Envic's plane was undoubtedly an opportunity to change this!
Apart from improving his bloodline, Grimm also found that there were many areas that could be improved on in his body.
First of all, the Grade 2 Heart of the Balrog was no longer suitable for him!
In the battle between the strong, not only did the Grade 2 Heart of the Balrog not help him, it had also severely hindered his ability to unleash his power.
Hence, he had to remove it as soon as possible and create a heart that was compatible with the power of fire. This was the right way to continue strengthening himself.
Secondly, the equipment that he was currently using was either the Flame Set Equipment that he had forged when he was at Grade 2, or some miscellaneous equipment that he had obtained from another plane. Although they could still assist him in unleashing powerful combat power, they were not compatible with his natural talent.
In other words, they could only be used as temporary equipment.
If he wanted to continue growing, he would need to find some fire attribute equipment that was compatible with his soul.
After thinking about it for a while, Grimm used this period of thinking to sort out the next few things that he needed to do in his mind in order.
