Chapter 212: Chapter 142: Roy’s Showdown, Meditation Technique Adjustment

「One week later.」

At Chaos Square.

After a week of effort, Roy had successfully grinded his Thousand-faced Demon Fairy Breathing Technique to the Tier Nine Limit.

He had thought the Thousand-faced Demon Fairy Breathing Technique would awaken a second special effect, just like the Thunder Beast Breathing Technique.

As it turned out, he was overthinking it.

Although both were Special Type Perfect Breathing Techniques, the Thousand-faced Demon Fairy Breathing Technique didn’t awaken a second special effect after being grinded to the Tier Nine Limit.

Roy simply sighed at this fact and then put it out of his mind completely.

For him, the greatest use of the Thousand-faced Demon Fairy Breathing Technique was its Transformation ability.

As long as the Transformation effect was still there, he didn’t need to worry too much about anything else.

During that week, besides grinding the Thousand-faced Demon Fairy Breathing Technique to the Tier Nine Limit, Roy had also accomplished a small goal.

He had grinded the Purgatory Dragon Meditation Method to Tier Ten.

[Purgatory Dragon Meditation Method (Incomplete): Tier Ten (1/200,000)]

When he saw that the Purgatory Dragon Meditation Method required a full 200,000 Skill Level points to upgrade to Tier Eleven, he didn’t hesitate. He immediately began practicing the Elemental Heart Meditation Method according to his original plan.

Thanks to the solid foundation he’d built with the Purgatory Dragon Meditation Method, it took him less than an hour to master the basics of the Elemental Heart Meditation Method.

After he mastered the basics of the Elemental Heart Meditation Method, the Skill Proficiency Panel confirmed one of his previous suspicions.

With the complete Elemental Heart Meditation Method as a reference, the Level of his Purgatory Dragon Meditation Method was reset according to a new standard.

[Purgatory Dragon Meditation Method (Incomplete): Tier Three (235/3,000)]

[Elemental Heart Meditation Method: Tier One (1/1,000)]

In addition to the adjustment of the Purgatory Dragon Meditation Method’s Level, the cultivation efficiency for Meditation Techniques was also adjusted.

Before the adjustment, the cultivation efficiency for a Meditation Technique was 350 points per hour.

After the adjustment, it became 30 points per day.

Now, whether it was the Purgatory Dragon Meditation Method or the Elemental Heart Meditation Method, he could only increase their Skill Level by a maximum of 30 points per day.

Looking only at the numbers, the cultivation efficiency for Meditation Techniques seemed to have dropped by an extraordinary amount.

But since the Level of the Meditation Technique had also been lowered, the actual cultivation efficiency hadn’t decreased.

Not only that, but with the 30-point daily cap, he no longer had to replace sleep with practicing Meditation Techniques and could return to a normal sleep schedule.

Of course, if he didn’t feel like sleeping, he could still stay up all night cultivating his Breathing Techniques and Secret Techniques.

Although the Purgatory Dragon Meditation Method he had worked so hard to grind to Tier Ten was reset to Tier Three, Roy wasn’t dissatisfied at all.

Additionally, after adjusting the Meditation Technique’s Level and cultivation efficiency, the Skill Proficiency Panel thoughtfully provided a correspondence between Meditation Technique Tiers and Wizard Levels.

Meditation Technique Tiers One through Three corresponded to First-class, Second-class, and Third-class Apprentices, respectively.

Tier Four corresponded to a Level One Wizard.

Tier Six corresponded to a Level Two Wizard.

Tier Eight corresponded to a Level Three Wizard.

Tier Ten corresponded to a Level Four Wizard.

As for whether there would be any changes after Level Four Wizard, the Skill Proficiency Panel didn’t say.

But even if there were, it was nothing Roy needed to worry about right now.

He was currently just a Third-class Apprentice, not even a Level One Wizard.

For a long time to come, he wouldn’t need to consider what lay beyond Level Four Wizard.

Roy used to start practicing his Meditation Technique only at night, but after the Skill Proficiency Panel made its adjustments, he revised his original cultivation plan.

He would practice his Meditation Technique in the morning, his Breathing Techniques in the afternoon, and his Secret Techniques and Magic in the evening.

If there were any changes, such as sleeping in until noon, he would just start the schedule from the time he woke up.

This way, no matter what happened, he could ensure that the Purgatory Dragon Meditation Method and the Elemental Heart Meditation Method wouldn’t miss out on their 30-point daily Skill Level growth cap.

「Time passed bit by bit.」

A notification for the Undead Bird Breathing Method’s upgrade appeared in Roy’s vision.

[Undead Bird Breathing Method has leveled up!]

[Undead Bird Breathing Method: Tier Six (1/20,000)]

Although he had only started practicing the Undead Bird Breathing Method yesterday, its cultivation efficiency of over 2,000 Skill Level points per hour allowed him to reach Tier Six with ease.

Roy closed the information panel in front of him and turned to look at the gray mist before him, checking on the situation in his guest room.

After confirming there was no one else in the room, he focused his thoughts and returned to his guest room from Chaos Square.

’It’s time to return to the Laine Kingdom and help Tony pacify the Northern Territory!’

It had been almost a month and a half since he left Ice Wind City.

More importantly, he had already achieved all his goals for coming to Storm City.

After resting on the sofa for a few minutes, Roy got up, walked to the desk, picked up a stack of letters, and left his room, heading straight for Selena’s.

Before long, he arrived outside Selena’s room.

Just as he was about to knock, the door opened from the inside, and Selena’s delicate, fair, oval face immediately appeared before him.

Seeing him, Selena’s expression immediately turned to one of surprise.

After a few seconds, she finally spoke. "Is your cultivation finished?"

Roy nodded, replying calmly, "Yes, it is."

"Also, I’m leaving."

’Leaving?’

Hearing Roy’s words, Selena’s expression changed instantly. She quickly asked, "Where are you going?"

"To visit other provinces and other countries," Roy replied.

"I’ll go with you!" Selena said immediately, without any hesitation.

"There’s no need. I’m used to being alone," Roy refused without a second thought.

’Taking Selena back to the Laine Kingdom would be no different from revealing my identity.’
