Within these 3 seconds, Link’s spiritual power and magic power were like red- hot steel plunged into water, experiencing a qualitative upgrade.

It didn’t end there.

The practical obstruction for the one-ring witchcraft “Armor Orchid Battle Armor” was swept away;

The “Seed” in his Sea of Consciousness even reaped great benefits.

The first phase of cultivation, which required the input of a first level magic stone worth 20,000 units of standard currency, was completed directly.

The “Spirit” of the “Seed,” being Franda, evolved and fell into a sleep.

The change that Link underwent in these few seconds can only be described as dramatic transformation.

“Did you gain a lot?”

The Serene Wizard appeared next to Link at an unknown time, blocking the line of sight for several unfamiliar wizards that steered toward Link.

“Yes.”

Link did not hide anything from the Serene Wizard. “I feel I could beat five of my former self from a few seconds ago.”

“That’s good.”

The Serene Wizard nodded, then lifted her half-filled glass of red wine, and covered her lips. In a voice only Link could hear, she reminded him: “Get ready. Your turn will come soon.”

“Thank you, Serene Wizard.”

Link gave his thanks, took a deep breath, preparing himself.

Wizard Palo, emerging from the synergy and lingering charm of the ascension, started to speak at this time.

“After 46 years, I transformed from an inexperienced Storm Sea New Blood to a Sage.

The journey was difficult, fraught with wind and rain.

Looking back, it all seems like a dream.

Fortunately, efforts have eventually paid off.

Today I share with you my joy from the bottom of my heart.

I hope everyone present will gain from this.

Thank you.”

Having completed the Metamorphosis Period, the image of Wizard Palo gradually overlapped with that of him when Link first saw him on the Quete Archipelago.

Serious, rarely joking or laughing. Direct and to the point.

Thunderous applause filled the auditorium.

Wizard Palo descended from the dais.

Forthwith, some wizards pushed out four trolleys, on which various gifts were neatly placed.

The first three trolleys, even the scarce ones like the first one, had nearly ten gifts each.

The second trolley was piled high with gifts.

Only the fourth trolley had a single gift box.

The gift-opening ceremony, which Link found unsettling, was about to begin.

When Link first learned that opening gifts on site was the second most important part of every Sage’s promotion ceremony, his intuition told him that it was shocking and incomprehensible.

It still felt that way.

Wizard Palo began to open the gifts that the Tier 3 Wizards had brought first, showing them one by one to everyone present.

These gifts were of high value, and notable for their practicality.

Almost all were valuable magic tools that could be used in battles of the Heavens.

The auditorium resounded with low gasps of surprise at the lavishness of these Tier 3 wizards.

After publicizing each gift, Wizard Palo would quietly thank and respect the wizards that brought the gifts.

When gifts from the Tier 3 wizards were opened, according to protocol, the presents from the Tier 2 wizards should be next.

But Wizard Palo did something that nearly made everyone’s eyeballs fall out.

He walked directly to the fourth trolley, upon which a lone gift box lay.

Gazing at everyone, Wizard Palo showed a trace of an almost imperceptible smile, and announced:

“I believe some of you may have guessed – the next gift to be opened is from a promising new blood whom I rate highly: this year’s first year champion of Zone 2, Link Grande.”

Having said that, Wizard Palo beckoned Link: “You, come and open it for me.”

Link, slightly pale, found his gaze met by dozens of curious gazes. He took slightly stiff steps towards Wizard Palo.

What on earth are you doing, big guy?

Turns out it’s you who’s messing with me!
