Chapter 375: 21. The Tranquility of Leoz

Baizhu Star Capital, Trevela.

Leo glanced down at the entire ’city’ from high above.

To call it a city was truly an understatement.

It should be called an ’immortal realm.’

This was the most urbanized place on the entire planet, where sixteen top magic academies converged, covering a staggering 300,000 square kilometers.

The land was dotted with forests, swamps, and lakes, with rolling mountains, beautiful scenery, rich in relics and resources, and numerous dungeons established by magicians for students to train, jokingly nicknamed ’monster spawning cages.’

Magnificent castles stood like towers of Babel, piercing the clouds, with mercury bases stretching thousands of kilometers, and blue arcane glow pierced through the atmosphere, connecting heaven and earth and the Qiongyu. The spaceports continuously lit up massive teleportation arrays, sending countless resources and passengers to outer space orbits, with an enormous throughput and incredible efficiency.

Floating cities were as common as advertising airships. In a magical civilization, there was no concept of cars; the primary means of transportation were flying vehicles.

And as everyone knew, no matter how good a flying vehicle was, its agility could not compare to a sparrow.

At this moment, the airspace of Trevela was filled with all kinds of rare magical flying beasts and monster mounts, as well as personal vehicles like civilian flying carpets and wands. The enforcers riding official griffins continuously flew around, maintaining order and meticulously managing the air.

Almost every castle was filled with various teleportation arrays, along with some crystal trains and magic-powered ships, used for transporting cheap goods in bulk or for civilians with weaker spellcasting abilities to travel.

Leo descended towards his destination at a leisurely pace of 300 kilometers per hour, aboard Baizhu Star’s most advanced civilian magic vehicle.

This aerial vehicle, nicknamed ’Elemental Lantern,’ was entirely constructed from structurally stable liquid elemental crystals arranged in a specific formation. It looked like an ice crystal from the outside, seemingly modest and simple, but the craftsmanship was extremely exquisite, and the interior’s liquid elements made the ride exceedingly comfortable.

"Leo, your answers were flawless, and your talent is a once-in-a-century genius—you were born to be the elite among spellcasters."

Leo calmly stared ahead, completely ignoring the magic academy teachers surrounding him.

—Though the vehicle was nice, it would be better if everyone around him could shut up.

The magic academy admissions officers around him, however, were not willing to let Leo go.

He had completed the answers in five minutes, to be precise, in four minutes, fifty-eight seconds, and seventy-four milliseconds. Such a record was not unprecedented; some had even been faster than Leo.

But those were the best among the Zeta rank.

However, in all the tests, Leo’s level was consistently gamma rank, just an ordinary mortal.

Cosmic civilization had no concept of Alpha and Beta ranks; these were created for new civilizations.

In the interstellar realm, gamma rank was the baseline, mortals with lifespans of three to four hundred years, who, with enough resources, could continue to advance.

The gamma rank constituted the basic workforce of the cosmos, not even fit to enter the starlit battlefield. Training them to develop the warfare skills of transcendent beings, capable of carrying out military orders, would be enough to bankrupt someone without even considering the costs of transporting so many to the target location.

Far better to have them honestly screwing bolts, buying houses, getting married, paying taxes, and having children.

The Delta rank could be counted among the transcendent, considered quite good among ordinary people. They could earn a stable income and get decent jobs at home.

Epsilon rank meant advanced skilled transcendent; they could participate in interstellar wars, often working as researchers, logistics staff, and in the security forces.

Zeta rank was the backbone of the battlefield; they often piloted war machines, engaging in large-scale ground military operations.

Most mercenaries and bounty hunters in the cosmos were at the Zeta rank, forming the main force among transcendent beings.

To those just stepping into the civilization of the starlit realm, they were already considered gods who could summon the wind and rain. But on the interstellar battlefield, Zeta rank individuals were merely cannon fodder, likely to die in direct combat.

Eta, Theta, and Iota were gradually rising war units, akin to tanks, planes, and battleships.

Reaching Iota rank meant becoming elite in interstellar wars. Yet, they could still be consumed quickly like fuel, ready to be replenished just as swiftly.

Kappa rank—only upon returning from the next Starry Abyss could one reach this level. Beyond Kappa, one could impact local starry battles; all civilizations highly valued their cultivation.

Leo, as a mortal, had achieved feats of the Zeta rank.

His abilities were indisputable; when his scores were reported to the academy committee, all of Trevela was in uproar.

In their eyes, everyone knew Leo would become a rising star.

After a rapid discussion meeting, each academy sent their most charming teachers to contact Leo.

The trouble was, Leo’s aptitude report stated he excelled in all factions of magic.

This meant that among the sixteen top-tier magic academies on Baizhu Star, all belonging to the highest echelons of the Crystal Tower Civilization, any would suffice for Leo.

This immediately set off a frenzy among the academies. Before receiving distribution orders from the committee, all academies offered extremely high conditions and benefits, hoping to recruit Leo.

Or rather—inviting Leo to enroll.

Beautiful female mentors, big names in academia, currently famous top-tier mentors. Resources and materials were provided sufficiently; several academies even proposed to resurrect the long-abandoned master-apprentice legacy system, specifically for Leo.

This ’long-abandoned’ was indeed long.

—The last time one-on-one master-apprentice sessions were held, the Tanas people were in the medieval era.

However, Leo seemed uninterested in this.

He didn’t speak, directly using spiritual resonance to ensure specific people could comprehend his voice—according to the testimonies of tested magicians, Leo had awakened his spiritual power only seven hours ago.

Such advanced learning ability greatly delighted the magic instructors who came to recruit Leo.

What did this imply? Leo was easy to teach!

With strong learning abilities, they required fewer teaching resources, making it more cost-effective to revive the ancient master-apprentice system, also fostering Leo’s loyalty.

During the flight to Trevela, Leo remained silent, but for any of his requests, whether it was a glass of water or to view the scenery from 5,000 meters high, the magic instructors would eagerly fulfill them, fearing Leo wouldn’t remember their names.

The more indifferent Leo was, the more attentive and warm the instructors became, treating Leo as their own child, showering him with gifts worth over 300,000 Dina.

Leo did not do much.

Most of the time, he knelt on the ground, alone, contemplating and meditating. The surrounding instructors did not disturb him. Leo boldly and silently communicated, expanding his soul and will infinitely, sending out a call.

"Charlgarnia, lead the Angel Envoys to welcome."

"Tuvahala, your Heroic Spirits should descend immediately."

"Meganiros, crawl to see me."

"Maggie, Du Ma, Giter, Oshen, Kronick, Mount—your sins shall be temporarily set aside, come for an audience."

However, only a void of silence responded to him.

He tried speaking some names that could not be properly pronounced in mortal languages:

"DezFaon, Aalrshia, Guazopx..."

He recited until the end, but no one responded.

Leo pondered for a moment, then called out another name without any emotion:

"Morphederia."
