No suspense, within just a few minutes, Chun advanced smoothly to Advanced level:

——System Prompt: Congratulations! By reading the Book of Runes, your Outstanding Wisdom has comprehended Advanced Rune Level 1. You've been rewarded: Mana +1, Life +1. Additional reward: Spirit +1, Wisdom +1, Earth Rune Mastery.

He actually got a talent skill for Earth Series Specialization, and the key is he gained another point of Wisdom.

For the first time, Chun experienced the power of the Wisdom Attribute, maybe it could lead to developing a Library Wisdom Flow training method.

At this point, Chun mastered as many as 100 Basic and Intermediate rune combination spells with miscellaneous functions that weren't strong at all, like slightly increasing Attack, Defense, Physical Strength, recovering slightly faster, walking slightly faster, and even making the wind cooler, water hotter, fire bigger, and earth looser and such.

But there were no Rune Stones! Which was a real pain, unlike a Mage, who just needs to lift a hand with Mana to cast spells...

No problem, just need 7 Runes.

Continue to charge to Advanced.

Then he suddenly found that the textbook style had changed; instead of continuing to read, it required players to personally use their hands to skillfully draw a rune symbol by activating Mana. It even had a casting time requirement, drawing too slowly would make the light and shadow in front disappear.

It was rather difficult, players didn't have to actually draw spells when training as a Mage... but thinking about all the rune tattoos on the Minotaur, he decided to practice.

Fortunately, with the assistance of the Earth Lotus, proficiency was still steadily advancing rapidly.

When reaching Advanced Rune Level 2, he began to form words by writing a string of runes at once, with increasing difficulty!

Only then did Chun realize that not having a Rune Stone was no problem, he could draw them himself! He could cover himself with them! However, the effect was far inferior to a fully energized Rune Stone. This required having an abundance of personal energy, which explained why the Minotaurs had so many tattoos.

In any case, onward to Level 3!

At Level 3, the requirement was to carve runes on the ground and stones.

Chun's Hand of Earth Flame was just a Stone Knife, so he began drawing on the sewer walls directly...

As he learned this, Chun suddenly recalled that Mages also drew symbols on the ground and stones? Only Mages liked to play with "geometry," big circles encompassing small circles, hexagrams covering pentagrams...

In short, his Wisdom was unbeatable, quickly reaching Level 4.

At Level 4, it required injecting Mana into the runes on the wall!

So, can Rune Stones be produced oneself?

Chun immediately thought of the 6 Magic Stones he previously had, which were with Aileen along with the Sacred Artifact collar. She didn't know how to use them and they were weighing her down, and what difference do these 6 Magic Stones have compared to Rune Stones?

So, it's still the old question, what's the difference between the Rune system and the Mage system?

Not understanding, he continued.

Just relying on the 20 plus Mana he gained from leveling skills wasn't enough for infusion. Perhaps this is the limit regular players face when advancing to high levels. But can regular players even obtain this material obviously meant for NPC Mages to learn from?

He still had to rely on the Earth Lotus, who had a mighty 10,000 Mana; compared to her, it's like comparing a stream to a torrent!

Chun found an Intermediate Rune Magic "Earth Loosen a Bit" that was extremely suitable for Earth Lotus's control, yes, that's its name.

This spell consisted of an Intermediate Earth Rune and a Low-level Earth Rune combined in a sequence to create a wavy effect, so was this spell meant for farming land?

Chun carved the four runes "Intermediate-Low-Intermediate-Low" on the wall, which was the simplest cycle, as beginners couldn't handle complicated ones.

"Earth Lotus, inject Mana."

"Got it, Father!"

The next moment, a surge of energy flowed through Chun's hand into the four symbols, which began to emit a glow—the wall trembled, the two bricks with runes on them started to move! Holy shit, this Rune Magic had power, not only loosening the ground but also the wall!

——System Prompt: Congratulations! Your Outstanding Wisdom and Pure Mana successfully infused Mana into the Rune… Advanced Rune elevated to Level 7…

Holy shit, three levels jumped! Indicating great potential!

Chun got excited again; after all, in actual combat, he could only rely on Earth Lotus's Earth Series Specialization, so it was fine not learning anything else, just focusing on practicing this Pure Earth Magic!

Chun directly added a string to the spell, "Intermediate-Low-Intermediate-Low-Intermediate-Low…"

This undulation, would it soar directly to Expert?

Chun was thrilled: "Earth Lotus, this time put more effort into it! Go big! Try to break through in one go!"

Earth Lotus also got excited: "Got it, Father!"

This time, a torrent of energy flowed through Chun's arm into the rune, and Chun immediately saw Earth Lotus's Mana decrease by 1000 in an instant!

Holy shit! Keep going—this was for reaching Expert!

But on second thought, wouldn't a Mage's big explosive move not even take 1000 Mana? Would this cause trouble? But earlier, there was just this amount of movement…

In the next moment, the rune string radiated brilliantly, and the surrounding dark sewers were illuminated brightly—the wall moved! Bricks moved!

The bricks waved like a tide!

But it wasn't just the bricks; the entire wall was crashing like waves!! Chun saw a red light explode before his eyes:

——System Prompt: Warning! Your Basic Construction Technique detected a major risk of collapse in the current structure!

——System Prompt: Congratulations! Your Outstanding Wisdom and Pure Earth Specialization have successfully comprehended "Expert Level Runes," you've been rewarded: Mana +2, Life +2. Additional reward: Spirit +1, Wisdom +1, Expert Level Earth Rune Specialization.

Holy shit! This is indeed causing major chaos!

But I've comprehended Expert level!

However, there's no way to stop this!

The situation felt wrong, and Chun quickly ran!

A rumbling sound echoed through the sewers, and a gust of wind mixed with dust quickly caught up with Chun. Chun was in disbelief—hadn't he run fast and far enough? Although he realized the collapse might get bad, he didn't expect such a large section to go down!

Alarms echoed throughout the city!

——Dark Moon City Public Announcement: Wanted! Azazel Vonima accused of illegally opening a manhole cover, obstructing city traffic, endangering public safety. Damage to the sewer, constituting city destruction…

Chun was dumbfounded!

I just crawled into a sewer...

What to do now? He could only follow the sewer's flow out of the city.

As for the Black Hand Tavern, it was out of hope.

The key point is, I'm the Chamber of Commerce President, and this Dark Moon City is a Vassal City, if the warrant reaches the Main City, what then? What about the Chamber of Commerce? Will the President Sister protect me? Can I hire a lawyer to fight the case? Even making false claims can go to court; I'm being forced into the sewers by the Black Hand Organization, this is an injustice… I didn't expect this Expert level to be this powerful—wait! Does this count as uncovering a shoddy construction project?

In the midst of chaotic thoughts, Chun heard the sound of rushing water ahead, it should be exiting the city.

Chun's vision suddenly cleared as he was swept down like a waterfall into the moat outside the city.

So where to now? He didn't dare go back to the city; if caught, even if he fought the case, being detained for days would be unavoidable…

Go to the Earth Flame Tribe instead.
