Chapter 455: Light of Law
Seconds ago, inside the Realm Gate.
Jia Na, who had already mentally prepared herself, was not flustered by the overwhelming meteor shower in front of her. Instead, she prepared to steadily execute the strategy she had just formulated.
However, just as Jia Na was about to make a move, the meteors that were flying towards her, as if subjected to a time-stopping spell, all came to a sudden halt just as they were about to hit the barrier shield, remaining in a state of absolute stillness.
“What’s going on?”
Like the Apprentices outside the Realm Gate, Jia Na, who also witnessed the strange phenomenon, instinctively felt confused.
However, what happened next was more than enough to make Jia Na feel more than just confusion.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”
The meteor shower, which had been pouring down on Jia Na like a torrent, began to reverse direction and fly away after only a few seconds of stagnation.
Only a few sporadic meteors remained, lightly falling onto the barrier shield around Jia Na, creating ripples.
“Buzz—”
After the meteors flew back, a large number of buzzing sounds continuously echoed around Jia Na.
Unlike the complete darkness Maguire-Storm saw when he entered the Realm Gate, at this moment, the Fallen Stars, which should have been dim, burst forth with brilliant rays of light, one after another.
The light was so intense that Jia Na could barely open her eyes.
“Is it because of the Purification Law Fragment?”
Looking at the “galaxy” formed by the Fallen Stars in front of her, Jia Na was surprised, but also quickly pondered the reason behind it.
“No, if it was only because of the Purification Law Fragment, it would be impossible for dark-attributed Fallen Stars to exist here. Could it be the Growth Law Fragment?”
Due to time constraints, Jia Na did not have time to think too clearly. Therefore, after confirming that the Fallen Stars in front of her would no longer attack her, Jia Na, who had descended into the White Tower Star Ring in her spirit body form, directly walked out of the Realm Gate’s protective barrier and made the same wizardry gesture as Maguire-Storm, raising her hands above her head.
“O omniscient and omnipotent lord of knowledge and wisdom, you are the light of wisdom, and the guardian of books and knowledge in the dust of time. Please listen to my devout call and lend me your power—
As Jia Na completed her prayer, the milky-white light originating from the Purification Law Fragment emanated from her hands. Seeing this, the surrounding Fallen Stars, which were already vying for brilliance, upon sensing the Purification Source Power from around Jia Na, called out to Jia Na with all their might, utilizing their law awareness cluster.
However, Jia Na, who also sensed the chaotic Law awareness around her, was not satisfied with the current situation. Instead, she continued to close her eyes and began to exert the power of Law.
“Buzz—”
After the milky-white Purification Light, the emerald-green light representing the Growth Law Fragment also blossomed from Jia Na’s hands.
Following closely, the withered yellow representing the withered Law Fragment, and the rose-red representing the Fragment of the Law of Beauty—four rays of light, like intertwining ribbons, drifted outwards from Jia Na’s palms.
“She actually mastered four Law Fragments!?”
Inside the classroom of the Book World, looking at the four rays of Law light emanating from Jia Na’s hands, except for Gavin-Tuer who was already aware, the other Wizard Apprentices, who had only heard of Jia Na’s fame through various headlines, unanimously widened their eyes in disbelief, looking towards the Realm Gate.
Among them were the “defeated opponents” Jia Na had powerfully beaten in the Andrew-Gump Transformation Trial.
“She hides it so well.”
Although she didn't know exactly what Law Fragments Jia Na had mastered, Hai La - Herheim could sense from the reactions of the surrounding Fallen Stars that the Laws represented by those Law Fragments could not be ordinary Subordinate Laws.
At the same time, Maguire-Storm, who was also learning about Jia Na’s true trump card for the first time, felt more of a complex emotion of deflated confidence, in addition to his usual unwillingness to concede.
This emotion contained unwillingness, disappointment, and a hint of an indescribable sense of relief...
“Growth, Withered, Purification, and the Law of Beauty—so she’s the female Apprentice that Kuroro mentioned.”
Looking at Jia Na’s performance inside the Realm Gate, Hefais-Chixing, the substitute Wizard, also showed a rare serious expression.
“Based on the Law power she displayed, she has already mastered it quite well. It seems that a remarkable individual will soon emerge among this batch of Apprentices.”
His eyes narrowed slightly, and after a moment of contemplation, Hefais-Chixing smiled thoughtfully, then continued to focus his attention on the Realm Gate. Time passed bit by bit. As the Law light representing the four Law Fragments emanated from Jia Na’s hands, Jia Na, who had borrowed the power of the lord of knowledge and wisdom, continuously used her amplified soul perception ability to discern the surrounding law awareness cluster.
Hefais-Chixing had told them during his lecture that upon entering the Realm Gate, every Wizard Apprentice would have a free opportunity to borrow the power of the lord of knowledge and wisdom to amplify one of their abilities to the level of a Formal Wizard.
Maguire-Storm chose to amplify his Hurricane Source Power from his Hurricane Law Fragment; Jia Na, on the other hand, chose to amplify her “soul perception” ability. “Found it!”
After Jia Na quickly eliminated the Fallen Stars that did not completely match her Law Fragments, finally, among the myriad Fallen Stars, Jia Na found the one that perfectly matched her expectations.
“Buzz—”
As the Law light in Jia Na’s hands grew brighter and brighter, as if hearing Jia Na’s call, a dim Fallen Star that had originally been pushed behind other Fallen Stars and had not emitted any starlight, suddenly forcefully pushed its way in front of Jia Na.
“Hmm? This Fallen Star…”
Looking at the huge Fallen Star that suddenly appeared before Jia Na, drawn by the light of Law, Jia Na’s eyes couldn’t help but flash with a hint of confusion.
“Why does this Fallen Star look so big?”
Each Fallen Star is equivalent to a planet. Although each Fallen Star that Jia Na sees in her current spirit body form appears small, its actual volume is quite large.
However, the Fallen Star that appeared before Jia Na was much larger than the other surrounding Fallen Stars…
