The break of dawn.

The Druids of the Ring of Nature began cleaning the battlefield and treating the wounded after the battle concluded. The battle last night had also taken a toll on them. If it weren't for Su Ziyu's Lightning Storm that obliterated the enemy's reinforcements, the casualties might have been even worse.

Su Ziyu's current state was quite awkward.

After unleashing the Lightning Storm, he seemed to have temporarily lost control of the Spiritual Lightning. A 'Spiritual Overload' negative status had appeared on the data page, and his Spiritual Energy seemed to have swiftly depleted, unable to recover quickly. Additionally, anyone who came into physical contact with him would get shocked, and even approaching him within a certain distance, one could feel a Static Field.

The most awkward thing was his hair, standing upright with faint arcs of electricity constantly dancing.

"It's not too serious."

"He's just exhausted his Mana and resonated with the external lightning."

The Second Elder, Thunder Caller, checked Su Ziyu's condition and reassured the others, "He should be able to recover in a day or two with some rest."

A circle of people surrounded Su Ziyu.

However, besides the Second Elder Thunder Caller, no one dared to approach within three meters of him. Initially, three people had already been shocked: Lady Inid, Lady Judith, and Van Helsing.

During last night's battle, no one from the Female Sorcerer Mutual Aid Association was injured.

As casters, they were well-protected, but several Demon Hunters got hurt. Lev took three sword hits to the abdomen and was now lying in the next room. The Druids probably suffered quite a few casualties. These Druids are rather sincere; most of the fighting last night was borne by them at the forefront.

Adson lost an arm in the battle. This Druid was placed within the oak grove, where the elders were figuring out a way to regenerate the severed limbs for the injured.

"Get some rest." Van Helsing instinctively reached out to pat Su Ziyu's shoulder before hastily withdrawing his hand at the door.

Lady Inid, standing beside him, softly said, "We're right next door. Call us anytime if you need anything."

"Hmm." Su Ziyu nodded wearily.

The power of the Lightning Storm was tremendous!

It wasn't clear whether it was inherently powerful or because Su Ziyu had once fused with the Blood of the Thunder God; after all, his Spiritual Lightning had awakened through it.

He wasn't in good shape now.

His body was extraordinarily fatigued, severely overextended, and uncontrollable electric currents were coursing through him.

In last night's battle,

Su Ziyu felt that when he cast Lightning Storm, his body seemed to have absorbed some of the lightning. He hadn't noticed this at the time because all his focus was on the reinforcements of the Ghost Hunter.

The dual fatigue of body and spirit soon led Su Ziyu to fall asleep.

In the next room,

Lady Judith wore a rather nuanced expression as she gazed at Lady Inid before her, saying, "That spell from last night! Is he a Source Mage?"

"Yes." Lady Inid gently nodded, lost in thought.

Lady Judith couldn't help sinking into contemplation, instinctively placing her hands on her abdomen, then looking up after a moment, asking softly, "Can he learn other spells?"

"Not sure." Lady Inid shook her head, "He seems to only possess the power to control lightning."

"Don't let those tree spirits near him." Lady Inid glanced at Lady Judith and softly said, "I'll go talk to those Druids."

"Understood." Lady Judith nodded.

A day quickly passed.

When Su Ziyu woke up again, it was already the next morning.

He felt his body had recovered quite a bit. Opening the data page, the 'Spiritual Overload' negative status had indeed disappeared.

Sparking and crackling.

Arcs of electricity jumped from Su Ziyu's fingertips. He was quite surprised to find that one of his abilities seemed to have changed.

"Static Field (Power of Thunder God): Significantly enhances one's affinity for lightning, reducing the consumption of casting Spiritual Lightning. It can resonate with external lightning powers and use lightning to recharge oneself, greatly enhancing the destructive power of the next Spiritual Lightning."

What was happening?

Hadn't the fusion of the Blood of the Thunder God failed initially?

Su Ziyu couldn't help but stand up. He found that after enhancing the Lightning Storm, the biological level displayed on the data page had become 'Tier Three.'

In last night's battle, he had gained a lot of Power of Space-Time.

——"Power of Space-Time: 136 points."

"Power of Space-Time: A special power converted after recovering the Ancient Blood, which can substitute Source Power Value for enhancing time and space abilities, or enhance the Hourglass of Time. 1 point of Power of Space-Time can be converted into 1 grain of time sand."

Incredible.

This Power of Space-Time could actually substitute for Source Power Value in enhancements?

Su Ziyu's expression was both excited and regretful. Excited because Power of Space-Time was relatively easier to obtain, regrettful because it couldn't be used to enhance other skill branches.

"Enhance Spatial Sense."

The skill tree of time and space had only activated the space component. Su Ziyu directly unlocked the first prerequisite enhancement ability.

——"Spatial Sense: Enhances the ability to perceive the Law of Space, able to detect spatial cracks and Plane Gates, consuming 10 points of Source Power Value."

This ability didn't have any special sensation after being enhanced.

Su Ziyu couldn't feel any change, but other abilities in the Space Expansion Skill Tree were illuminated.

——"Space Beacon: Strengthens the perception of the Law of Space, enabling the detection of spatial nodes. Consumes 20 points of Source Power Value."

——"Flashing: Performs a short-distance space jump. Consumes 40 points of Source Power Value."

Space Beacon was the second prerequisite ability.

Su Ziyu couldn't progress with further enhancements without unlocking Space Beacon.

With 20 points of Power of Space-Time consumed, Su Ziyu's mind instantly entered a special state. He found himself able to see two worlds simultaneously, with numerous tiny light spots between them. Within his perceptual range, a multitude of spatial nodes appeared, which could all serve as Space Beacons.

"Enhance Flashing."

The consumption for the Space Enhancement route was terrifying. If relying solely on accumulating Source Power Value normally, he had no idea how long he would have to wait.

After enhancing the first teleportation ability,

Su Ziyu felt a peculiar sense, an ability to perceive space, viewing the world as if it were a mirror. He couldn't quite articulate the difference yet; he only felt he had a newfound understanding of space.

The next second.

Su Ziyu vanished from where he stood, reappearing ten meters away.

"What a magical ability!" Su Ziyu murmured as he looked at his body.

Just at that instant, he felt as if he had passed through a thin barrier, and upon reappearing, he was at the location of the Space Beacon he had locked onto.
