Chapter 200: Chapter 200: You’re pretty good, I’ll go all out later

In the days that followed, Lin Xiao spent almost all his time within the Divine Realm, staying there nearly every day.

He studied spells and various magical theoretical knowledge. Through the Tower of Truth, he involved all Wise Goblins in the process. The feedback from more than three thousand Wise Goblins caused him to make rapid progress in magical theory. He could confidently say that no one in his class could match him, and probably only a few could in the entire high school stage.

With solid magical theoretical knowledge, the Tower of Truth gradually filled with increasingly profound magical theory books for the Wise Goblins to study. He brought knowledge into the Tower of Truth for the Wise Goblins to learn, and the Wise Goblins’ research feedback deepened Lin Xiao’s theoretical knowledge. This cycle continued, with theoretical knowledge about spells in the Tower of Truth growing rapidly.

Meanwhile, as the Divine Realm expanded, Lin Xiao felt it was too sparsely populated, and the Wise Goblins were too obsessed with learning, unwilling to reproduce, leading to a slow rate of procreation. The initial population of two thousand Wise Goblins had only increased by a thousand after twenty years, which was too slow.

He began to consciously adjust and issued a Divine-mandate to Slarda, instructing him to guide the Wise Goblins to reproduce more. He also added limitations to the Tower of Truth, encouraging Wise Goblins to do something interesting other than staying at home all the time.

It’s worth mentioning that the compulsory adjustments had some effect; the Wise Goblins could no longer enter the Tower of Truth at will, like before, and could only engage in other activities after completing a research project.

Some with strong practical abilities researched other things derived from magical theory; the rest, lacking strong practical skills, followed Slarda’s instructions to participate in activities beneficial for their bodies and minds, contributing a bit to the prosperity of the Wise Goblin race.

Worth noting is that the pure Divine Spirit, which cost him five points of Divinity, had already reincarnated and succeeded in being born as a Divine Wisdom Gnome, exhibiting extraordinary wisdom and ability from a young age.

Having reached maturity in just ten years within the Divine Realm, this individual had already become a well-known young prodigy among the Wise Goblin race.

On his birthday, Lin Xiao personally descended to bestow the name Alemonte Lin, with the family name following the given name, hoping he could become the wisest being in the Divine Realm in the distant future.

And now, it seemed he had not disappointed Lin Xiao’s expectations, being the most intelligent among the Wise Goblins while still at a young age, and demonstrating a very strong talent for spells from the beginning.

Finally, after the second week of the first major class, the first Wise Goblin Hero, Alemonte, successfully cast his first spell without a Profession Card and was officially inducted as a Mage.

This was a true Mage, not a pseudo-Mage inducted through a Profession Card.

Mages inducted through Profession Cards originated from a powerful Crystal Wall System called Toriel, relying on the existence of the Magic Net. Not only were their spells limited, but they were also restricted by the Magic Net’s spell slot limitations.

However, Alemonte, having self-taught the Mage profession, was more like the mages in a pseudo-DnD game, casting spells with Blue Bar Mana instead of relying on the Magic Net. Thus, as long as his mana was sufficient, he could cast spells without restrictions, naturally making him much more powerful.

After his Mage profession was inducted, Alemonte’s inherent Divinity was stimulated, turning him into a Mage Hero with an Epic template.

Lin Xiao checked Alemonte’s hero panel and assessed that his potential was no less than Slarda’s.

Hero: Alemonte (Divine Creature)

Race: Wise Goblin.

Level: Epic.

Hero Aura: Magic Aura — Within the aura’s range, all spellcasting ally classes have their mana and spiritual power consumption reduced by 25%, casting speed increased by 25%, casting range increased by 25%, and spell power increased by 25%.

Hero General Talent: Epic Hero’s Vitality — Immune to instant death damage, high-end life regeneration, physical damage reduction by 25%, all resistance +25%.

Divine Creature Talent: Divine Creature — All attributes +20%, all resistance +20%, acquire high-end life regeneration.

Unique Hero Talent: Goblin’s Brilliance — Inherits the last glimmer of the Ancient Goblins, possessing extraordinary talent in Magic Creation.

Hero Skills: None.

Constitution: 19+4 points. (Omitted…)

Strength: 16+3 points. (Omitted…)

Agility: 21+4 points. (Omitted…)

Spirit: 60+12 points. (Your spirit outshines the common man, your wisdom is exceptional, you are a born spell master.)

Evaluation: A legendary Goblin Hero inheriting the afterglow of the Ancient Goblins.

His talents indicate that Alemonte is not the kind of Mage Hero adept at combat, but his talent in Magic Creation is exceptionally high, which is very exciting to Lin Xiao.

Now, Alemonte lacks Hero Skills, but his spellcasting ability soared after becoming a hero. Within a few years, he rose to the rank of Rank 6 Grand Magician, becoming a very powerful Leader Mage.

Yes, starting from when Alemente became an official Mage, other Wise Goblins seemed to have an epiphany. One after another, senior Wise Goblins who had studied spells for many years succeeded in casting spells and became genuine Mages.

It’s worth mentioning that only Wise Goblins who hadn’t taken up the profession of Frost Magician could become real Mages. Once they became Frost Magicians, they would never be able to become real Mages.

However, this does not mean that there is no path forward for the Frost Magicians. They can still continue to study the theoretical knowledge of spells and teach themselves various magical techniques and surpassing magical skills to become a senior Frost Magician stronger than those in conventional professions.

Lin Xiao was very satisfied with the changes in the Wise Goblins. He promoted Alemente as the Clan Leader of the Wise Goblins and selected twenty outstanding Wise Goblin Mages to become his own Priests. He ordered them to establish a subordinate institution of the Church— the Hall of Truth, responsible for managing and protecting the Tower of Truth as well as the manufacturing of the Church’s magical machinery and weapon armor.

At this point, apart from its headquarters, the Church of Truth only had one subordinate branch, the Hall of Truth, but the second branch, the Arbitration Court, was in preparation.

The duty of the Arbitration Court generally is to specifically monitor the internals of the Church and arrest defectors and rebels within the Church, akin to the role of the Eastern Factory Guards, holding considerable power.

Lin Xiao did not currently have any Clan qualified to take up this position, so he had to leave it vacant for the time being.

Time passed quickly with the rapid development of the Divine Realm. Lin Xiao would return from the Divine Realm every week, and the first thing he would do was send a message to Shen Yuexin.

They had agreed a month ago to contact each other at the same time every week, and this was now their fourth time doing so.

The content of their chat was mostly about some interesting events they encountered in the development of their respective Divine Realms, or funny incidents during class, including the curriculum and content of their respective classes. By now, Lin Xiao had a quite good understanding of the curriculum of the elite class at Radiance High School No. 1.

In general, it wasn’t much different from No. 2 Middle School, but there were slight differences in teaching methods. The most crucial was that the treatments of different students by the two teachers and the counselor of the elite class in high school No. 1 were distinctly different.

To summarize in one sentence: The good students were treated gently and with care, while the poor students were left to fend for themselves.

Fortunately, his little aunt was performing well and belonged to the group of good students.

Then they chatted for a while longer, reluctantly ending the call only when it was almost time to enter the classroom.

Although they didn’t chat much, their relationship hadn’t grown cold from the lack of conversation. On the contrary, it had even progressed. She no longer resisted his occasional flirty remarks online.

This was a significant step forward. When a girl does not mind a man flirting with her, it shows that she has a good impression of him, and with a little more effort, he could soon win her over.

Lin Xiao was even considering finding an opportunity to ask her out to solidify their relationship.

Thinking all the way to the classroom door, he saw his classmates arriving with serious expressions on their faces, prompting Lin Xiao to quickly adjust his mindset, for today was the second major class of the semester.

According to what the homeroom teacher had said during the last major class, the teacher wouldn’t go easy this time, and everyone was a bit nervous.

Of course, that didn’t include him. With the development of a month in the Main World equating to thirty years in the Divine Realm, his strength in the Divine Realm had made huge progress compared to last time. He was much stronger and had ample confidence to face any seniors from previous cohorts.

Entering the classroom, he stopped at his seat as the Crystal Disc landed. More students arrived, but there were not many sounds within the room.

For the past month, most students had been like this, seeming not so much like attending school as like the disciples in a sect from novels, where everyone is a competitor.

Once all the students had arrived, the class bell rang, and the homeroom teacher and the counselor arrived on time. Dr. Sun, the theory class teacher, generally wouldn’t attend these practical combat classes.

As always, Jin Sisi, whose full-body armor obscured even her figure, scanned all the students with her pupils constantly flashing golden light, and spoke in a voice devoid of emotion as always:

“The second major class will follow the same format as one month ago, but this time the projection of the graduates from previous cohorts will be simulated at one hundred percent accuracy. Those who failed the last major class should be aware, if you fail this major class again, you will be advised to transfer to class two.”

The classroom went silent, but Lin Xiao knew everyone must be feeling uneasy.

“Tsk tsk, two months into the school year, and a batch of students are about to be eliminated. This competitive pressure…”

Fortunately, he had grown rapidly during this period.

Not to mention the Wise Goblins that had already begun to develop, relying solely on the Supreme Naga and Fishmen, he was confident in facing any opponent. As long as he didn’t come up against the very top seniors from past cohorts, he might not even need to summon the Flame Lord.

In the past thirty years, he continuously used the Breeding Card with Extraordinary Ability to increase the reproduction speed of the Supreme Naga, and he also traded for nine five-star rare quality Breeding Cards online using three Mythical Quality Cards. Combining three into one, he made three Mythical Quality Breeding Cards.

This was the upper limit for Breeding Cards, and even if more were fused, there would not be an Ancient Quality Breeding Card. Hence, combining three into one was the most economical.

The duration remained unchanged at ten years, but the reproduction speed increased from three hundred percent to five hundred percent. During these thirty years in the Divine Realm, he used three cards, occupying three card slots in total.

With a five hundred percent reproduction speed bonus over thirty years, plus the Extraordinary Ability for reproduction, even the low reproductive abilities of the Supreme Naga were forcibly boosted. At this point, the number of Supreme Naga in the Divine Realm had increased by over one hundred percent compared to half a year ago. The total number increased from less than three thousand a month ago to nearly seven thousand now..
