Chapter 212 Accepted
Vale then swiftly left the Ceremony Hall and went to the Combat Training Hall to test out his new spells.
He had previously tried using the Divine Sense and his Blessed Healing, but he failed to use them, making it seem like they were useless.
However, last night, after going through so many books on the first floor of the library, he learned that the Holy Arts Practitioners were actually using their Vitality to trigger their spells!
Of course, these people weren’t dying so quickly because they drank a potion called Pure Life. This potion is equivalent to the Dark Arts Faction’s Darkness Possession and allows them to use Holy Arts, or what they call Sacred Abilities, without using their Vitality.
They will be able to produce a different energy called Sacred Aura which they can use to cast these spells.
Since Vale can not consume that potion, he would have to use his Vitality to trigger these Sacred Abilities.
He hadn’t done this before and wanted to experiment with it now.
“This is going to be tough…” Vale muttered as he didn’t have a teacher that would help him do this. He has to explore on his own and he knows that it will not be easy.
He was triggering his Dark Arts using the Dark Energy within his body, so he had to know how to utilize his Vitality to trigger the Spell.
At the very least, since he already has the Spell recorded, he simply has to learn the method of controlling his vitality force. This may not be easy since he only extracted their Spell Models and not the knowledge of how to use them, but he knows that it’s doable.
Luckily, after four hours of relentless attempts, Vale finally triggered the Divine Sense!
‘No wonder they’re calling their skills as Sacred Techniques… This Divine Sense is too powerful!’ Vale thought as he marveled at the Spell’s power.
However, after about five minutes of exploration, he swiftly canceled the Spell as he felt a tiny reduction in his Vitality.
“Whew~ That was an incredible experience… I wonder how it would feel if I’m also using their Blessed Sense.” Vale muttered. Of course, there was no way to enter the Blessed Sense or the equivalent of Phantasm State in the Holy Arts Faction.
“I just hope that other Holy Arts Practitioners can’t detect my Divine Sense.” Vale sighed inwardly with his lack of information.
Anyway, the Divine Sense is similar to the Spell Dispersion that it can be triggered even outside the Phantasm State. It may not have a better range than his Phantasm State, but in this 8-meter range, Vale could tell that he was invincible. Of course, he would learn more about it once he triggered this Spell with enemies in range.
In addition to that, the Spell has a better introspection ability that allows him a better look at his body… Divine Sense is so much better than the Phantasm State’s introspection.
Furthermore, according to the books he read, this Divine Sense could work well in identifying a Practitioner’s path even if they weren’t using their spells or entering their Magic Zone.
That’s right… This is what Vale liked about this ability… He can determine a person’s Arcane Path as long as his Vitality Force is higher than theirs or they don’t possess an artifact that blocks this ability.
With his Extraction System, he can basically guarantee that he would always have a higher stat than them.
Vale then checked his Vitality Attribute and confirmed that it had changed from 33.84 to 33.83.
With the five minutes of use of the Spell, he would have his Vitality deducted by 0.01. It was quite an acceptable rate since he won’t be using this Spell all the time. Even if he does, he only has to use it in less than five minutes so it should be relatively safe to use it. 𝙖.𝒄
He then continued experimenting with the Blessed Healing and confirmed that it actually doesn’t work on humans.
He already confirmed this in the book but still felt disappointed after learning about it. Apparently, Blessed Healing only works on objects, especially water, as it could turn into Healing Water.
Perhaps, this Healing Water is what they call Holy Water for a marketing reason. As for the other items, it could, at most, help a little in removing curses, purifying objects, and other similar acts.
‘Should I start selling Holy Water?’ Vale chuckled at the thought.
Over the past few days, Vale had a few ideas about why the Dark Arts Faction captured those prisoners instead of just killing them. He guessed that their abilities were being used to test various Dark Spells.
Perhaps a Necromancer can test the resistance of their Zombies through their assistance, or a Dark Spellcaster can use them to see how long their Spells could last against the Holy Arts.
Their Holy Water might even be used to increase the resistance of some Undead that he doesn’t know about.
Of course, this might all be his imagination, but he felt that this is closer to the truth.

It was already evening when he returned to his room and realized a letter was in front of his room’s door.
After picking it up, he entered his room and opened the letter.
To his surprise, it came from Myrna, the lady from the Quest Pavilion.
She was informing him that the Potion Tester mission has now increased to 2 Contribution Points in every three potions.
The professor who had posted the mission also added that the one that would accept the mission must also be capable of drinking six potions in a month.
“Oh… It means that I can earn four contribution points in a month?”
Vale was tempted. To be honest, he felt that there couldn’t be any worse than his experience with the Darkness Possession and the other potions that Master Heinz made him drink.
Furthermore, he already has an Incorruptible Body at Level 6 or the peak of Intermediate Realm.
With this physique partnered with his Strength and Vitality, he can’t believe that he won’t be able to survive drinking those potions.
Lastly, he would also benefit from it since those potions seem to have some effects that could improve his body.
On the next day, Vale canceled his plans to record the two Planar Spells and went straight to the Quest Pavilion to accept the mission.𝒊𝒃𝒆𝓪.𝒄𝒎
