"Yes, Legislator Faya." Vincentia nodded, walked up to the tall stone platform, and sat down, closing his eyes slowly.

At this moment, waves of elemental energy filled with a destructive aura began to emanate from his body.

Feder and Faya weren't idle either. One held a shell identical to Vincentia's, ready to transfer his soul at any moment.

The other focused intently on Vincentia, prepared to cast life witchcraft to preserve his life if anything went wrong.

Although Vincentia said he was seventy percent sure of a successful breakthrough, they still needed to take precautions.

Otherwise, if anything unexpected happened, they might face Speaker Francis's fury.

One day...

Three days...

Five days passed in the blink of an eye, and Vincentia, sitting on the Magic Crystal Platform, suddenly trembled.

In the next moment, the destructive aura surrounding him suddenly retracted and vanished almost instantly.

"This elemental control is really extraordinary," Faya relaxed and couldn't help but exclaim.

Through her perception, she noticed a barely perceptible increase in Vincentia's spiritual power, indicating that he had broken through to the Third Ring.

It is usually challenging for mechanical wizards to control elemental energy during a breakthrough, and it was even more difficult for Vincentia due to his integration of the Destruction Element.

Yet he not only managed to prevent the Destruction Element from dispersing but also completely retracted it, which was remarkable.

"Indeed," Feder nodded in agreement.

At the same time, Vincentia opened his eyes, smiled at the two watching over him, and said, "Thank you both for your guardianship, the breakthrough went smoothly."

"We didn't do anything, no need to thank us," Faya waved her hand and asked curiously, "I remember you said Assistant Amy wanted you to test a Fourth Tier War Fortress when you reached the Third Ring. When do you plan to do this?"

"That will have to wait until the Magic Artifact Research Institute develops a truly stable Fourth Tier Fortress," Vincentia explained. "The Fourth Tier Fortress they've developed now is still unstable and testing is not very meaningful."

"Alright, make sure to let me know when the time comes. I'd like to see it for myself," Faya laughed.

"Of course, no problem," Vincentia agreed readily.

Wizard Calendar, August 4, 1509.

The players active in the Wizard Plane, the Abyss, and the three War Planes for two years disappeared again.

During this period, three players successfully broke through to the Fourth Ring.

They were 'Calm Waves,' 'Sky Seeker,' and a player from the second version named 'Sky Flying Fish.'

However, this did not cause much of a stir in the Wizard Alliance, as there were already over a thousand Fourth Ring wizards in the Alliance.

In comparison, the emergence of three players was a mere drop in the ocean.

Most importantly, due to insufficient contribution points, they hadn't even secured a legislator seat and weren't qualified to construct a Wizard Tower, so their breakthroughs seemed irrelevant.

...

Wizard Calendar, March 15, 1512.

East Region of the Forest Plane, Rian Academy City.

This is an enormous academy city covering over three thousand miles, with hundreds of academies belonging to various factions.

In the very center of the city are thirty-five academies, representing the thirty-four legislators of the Wizard Alliance, except for Speaker Cody, and the Mechanical Wizard School.

The exclusion of Cody this time was not due to prejudice against him personally but against the entire Faith Faction.

As long as Cody does not break through to the Sixth Ring, the Faith Faction can only develop within their territory and cannot expand beyond that.

Above Rian Academy City, spaceships were as clustered as stars, forming serpentine lines as they slowly headed toward the spacecraft docking area in the city.

The shapes of these spaceships varied: some resembled ancient sailboats with hulls studded with colorful gems, while others were round, streamlined, and in various other forms.

An unremarkable Second Tier silver spaceship followed the ones ahead, moving slowly. After half an hour of queuing, it landed gently in the spacecraft docking area at the center of the academy city.

"Clack—"

"We've arrived at the academy city, everyone come out," said an elder wizard with white hair, wearing a red Second Ring Wizard Robe. He opened the spaceship's double doors, flew from the second level, and stood by the first-level door, "Remember to stay together and not get lost."

Upon his words, a golden-haired, youthful-faced child was the first to step out of the ship. Looking at the endless spaceships, the teeming wizards, and the apprentices like him, he was a bit dumbfounded.

In his hometown, there were only three wizard apprentices living in the central wizard tower of a small town, managing the entire town.

Now, witnessing this scene, he was profoundly shaken.

"Little Van, stop daydreaming," the elder wizard chuckled, "You'll have plenty of time to see all this in the future, no rush now."

The reason he was so kind to Van was mainly due to the little fellow's Fifth Level Meditation Talent.

People born with Fifth Level Meditation Talent usually also have good talent in witchcraft construction, undoubtedly making them geniuses.

No matter which faction Van joined next, he would bring in a significant amount of magic crystal income.

If he were to pass the Space Faction's test by chance, it would be even more lucrative.

It's worth noting that after 1400 years of the Grand Council's deliberation, the recruitment of apprentices by the Wizard Alliance has seen substantial changes.

For instance, after receiving apprentices, regardless of their level of Meditation Talent, they are no longer asked to choose an Elemental Faction first, nor do they use the time on the spaceship to construct a Meditation Rune Model to showcase their talent.
