Chapter 429: Fourth Elf Summoning
The next day, morning.
After a full day of rest yesterday, Jia Na’s fatigue accumulated during the Transformation Trial finally vanished, and her overall mental state became exceptionally vibrant.
In the morning, Jia Na went to the White Coral Academy’s package storage again and retrieved a tightly packed parcel sent by “Shuize Auction House & Jarvis Roland.”
This parcel contained the premium Element soul essence that Jarvis Roland had previously promised Jia Na, which he would sell to her at a particularly low price once the Shuize Auction House had it in stock.
Actually, when Jia Na left the Water Marsh Wizard Gathering Place before, Jarvis Roland had already given her a complete set of premium Element soul essences.
Among those premium Element soul essences, there were even extremely rare ones like Light Element and Dark Element essences.
However, since the Element Planes corresponding to Light Element and Dark Element are both very high-level planes, for Jia Na to summon Element soul creatures from there and sign a contract with them, she would at least need to master the Advanced Elf Summoning ritual.
And within White Coral Academy, advanced wizard knowledge is generally not taught to outsiders.
Besides the Light Element and Dark Element premium essences, Jia Na fed the other Water Element, Fire Element, and Plant Element essences to her various contracted creatures, ultimately leaving only Wind Element and Earth Element essences in her possession…
“Whoosh—”
As Jia Na stepped out of the package storage door, a cold wind mixed with ice and snow “mercilessly” blew across her face, giving her cheeks a stinging sensation as if pricked by needles.
But at this moment, Jia Na couldn't bother to put on her wizard robe hood; instead, she directly cast the Psychological Invisibility spell, trying to minimize her presence as much as possible.
Just today, Jia Na finally understood why so many people had been looking for her in the past few days; the fundamental reason was the news headlines published in the newspapers during this period.
Although the Turin Wizard Gathering Place and the Element Soul Wizard Gathering Place are far apart, the speed of news dissemination far exceeded Jia Na’s imagination.
The news of Jia Na winning the Andrew-Gump Metamorphosis Trial championship was published almost simultaneously on various newspapers in the Turin Wizard Gathering Place on the same day.
Because of this, when Jia Na officially appeared at the White Coral Academy this morning, the warm greetings from other apprentices surged like a tide, at one point causing “traffic jams” within the academy.
So, a journey that originally took less than five minutes ended up taking Jia Na a full half an hour, and by the time she returned to her dormitory, it was already past nine o’clock—
“It seems I need to reduce the time I spend appearing outside recently.”
After taking off her wizard robe and placing the parcel on the workbench, Jia Na also tidied her slightly messy hair, then walked to the refrigerator and took out a piece of honey bread and black coffee from it, counting it as her breakfast this morning.
“It’s almost time to begin.”
After quickly finishing her breakfast, Jia Na swiftly took out all the materials for the Elf Summoning ritual from her thorn bracelet and skillfully completed all the arrangements for the Elf Summoning ritual.
“The quality of this Element soul essence looks pretty good.”
After setting up the ritual, Jia Na also opened the parcel sent by Jarvis Roland and saw the premium Ice Element soul essence sealed inside, emitting a strong chill.
Just a few days ago, before Jia Na returned to the Turin Wizard Gathering Place, she had seriously considered which type of Element soul elf she would summon for this Elf Summoning ritual.
Initially, Jia Na actually wanted to summon an Earth Element soul elf. After all, as a Summoning apprentice, Jia Na’s physique had always been relatively weak, and the defensive ability of an Earth Element soul elf, comparable to that of a Guardian apprentice, could protect Jia Na very well.
However, the Star Guard spell gifted by Professor Uta compensated for Jia Na’s defensive shortcomings.
So, later, Jia Na considered Summoning a Wind Element soul elf. After all, slow flight speed had always been another major weakness for Jia Na after transforming into her Butterfly Wing Form.
But after Jia Na mastered the Oak Sprite transformation form, the issue of flight speed was actually resolved.
Therefore, in the end, Jia Na decided to summon an Element soul elf that could maintain combat capability even in extreme environments, especially extremely cold environments.
Previously, in the Extreme Cold Secret Realm belonging to the Rose Family, Jia Na realized that none of her contracted creatures possessed the ability to fight long-term in extremely cold environments.
Even Thundercloud, with its dual Water and Thunder elements, could not adapt to the low-temperature climate in extreme cold weather.
Because of this, to ensure she could fight normally in extremely cold environments, Jia Na ultimately prepared to use the premium Ice Element soul essence to summon an Ice Element soul elf…
“Whoosh—” After everything was ready, Jia Na took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.
Immediately after, she placed the spiritual candle in the center of the round mirror. As the flame on the spiritual candle slowly ignited,
Jia Na decisively used a sterilized mithril short knife to gently cut a three-centimeter opening on her left palm, allowing crimson blood beads to roll onto the Silver Mirror.
“Drip—drip—” Blood beads rolled and slid across the mirror surface. Seeing the mirror surface already covered in Blood Red, Jia Na quickly picked up the premium Ice Element soul essence and held it tightly in her palm.
“Great Lord of the Spirit Realm, you are the ruler of the vast starry sky, please listen to my will, unleash your boundless power—Gate of the Spirit World, open!”
As the incantation was recited, the candlelight flared.
As Jia Na recited the mystic incantation in a solemn voice, the hot candle wax quickly rolled down the candle body, mixing with Jia Na’s fresh blood.
“Spiritual Body Shuttle—”
Seeing the round mirror successfully connect to the Spirit World, Jia Na, already quite familiar with the ritual process, quickly activated her Spiritual Body Shuttle talent.
Buzz—
After the talent was activated, the light on the round mirror suddenly brightened. Along with a familiar sense of weightlessness, colorful rays of light continuously appeared in Jia Na’s pupils.
Immediately following was the buzzing murmur in her ears, swiftly engulfing Jia Na’s soul vision, plunging her into a silent darkness.
“Success.”
Opening her eyes again, looking at the silver-white world completely covered in ice and snow, Jia Na, knowing the ritual was successful, couldn't help but feel relieved…
